Bm
When I offer you survival
G
You say it's hard enough to live
Em                            G
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
A                Em               G A
How do you know that you're right?

   Bm
I awoke on the roadside
        G
In the land of the free ride
            Em
And I can't pull it any longer
    Bm
The sun is beating down my neck

     Bm
So I ran with the devil
         G
Left a trail of excuses
        Em
Like a stone on the water
    Bm
The elements decide my fate
          G A
Watch it go

Chorus:
A                F#m
When I offer you survival
G
You say it’s hard enough to live
A             F#m
Don’t tell me that it’s over
      G
Stand up, poor and tired, but more than this

A               F#m
How do you know that you’re right
               G
If you’re not nervous anymore?
A           F#m               G
It’s not so bad, it’s not so bad

I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus
But I'm pushing on for that horizon
I'm pushing on
Now I've got that blowing wind against my face

So you sling rocks at the riptide
am I wrong or am I right?
I hit the bottom with a "huh!", quite strange
I get my glory in the desert rain
Watch it go (When I offer you survival)

Chorus:
When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live
And I'll tell you when it's over, shut up
Poor and tired, but more than this
How do you know that you're right?
If you're not nervous anymore
It's not so bad, it's not so bad

 D
Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it
Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
G          A Bm F#m
Out of the fire
G           A
Higher and higher

 D
Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it
Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
 G          A Bm F#m
Out of the fire
 G          A
Higher and higher

 D
Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it
 G
Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
      A  Bm F#m
Out whoa oh oh
 G          A  D
Higher and Higher

G         A       Bm
It ain’t hard to hold
         F#m         G
When it shines like gold
          A      D
You’ll remember me
