[Intro]
       A   x4
       A   A   A   A
       D   Bm  Cm  Bm
       A   A   A   A
       D   Bm  Cm  D


[Verse]
         A
Well you know those times when you feel like there's 
  A
A sign there on your back 
D
Say's I don't mind if ya kick me 
D
Seems like everybody has 
E
Things go from bad to worse 
E
You'd think they can't get worse than that 
              A
And then they do 

    A
You step off the straight and narrow 
        A
And you don't know where you are 
        D
Use the needle of your compass 
   D
To sew up your broken heart 
    E
Ask directions from a genie 
     E
In a bottle of Jim Beam 
         D
And she lies to You 
       D
That's when you learn the truth 


[Chorus]

          A
If you're going through hell 
A
Keep on going 
D
Don't slow down 
          D
If you're scared, don't show it 
    E
You might get out 
           D                       A
Before the devil even knows you're there 


[Verse]

Well I been deep down in that darkness 
I been down to my last match 
Felt a hundered different demons 
Breathing fire down my back 
And I knew that if I stumbled 
I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, Yeah 

But the good news 
Is there's angels everywhere out on the street 
Holding out a hand to pull you back upon your feet 
The one's that you been dragging for so long 
You're on your knees 
You might as well be praying 
Guess what I'm saying 

[Chorus]

If you're going through hell 
Keep on going, Don't slow down 
If you're scared, don't show it 
You might get out 
Before the devil even knows you're there 

Yeah, If you're going through hell 
Keep on moving
Face that fire 
Walk right through it 
You might get out 
Before the devil even knows you're there 

[Bridge]
Bm    Bm    A    A
Bm    Bm    Cm D E

[Chorus]
