Lyrics and Chords
Key of C

Chorus:
C F C
Can you stay ahead of this hard time
C F C
With that bottle in your hand and your finger on the reset button
Am F
Every time you think you got it in the bag it wiggles out
F G F C
so how can you stay ahead of a hard time like this.


Verse
C F C
Throw your keys on the counter when you get home
C F. C
Watching the sun fall behind those shades that you draw
Am F
Throw your shoes on the floor with those bad habits.
F
Good times may be had, but when you walk down the hall the
G. F. C
story hasn’t changed a bit.

Chorus:

C F C
Can you stay ahead of this hard time
C F C
With that bottle in your hand and your finger on the reset button
Am F
Every time you think you got it in the bag it wiggles out
F G F C
so how can you stay ahead of a hard time like this.


Verse
C F C
Give yourself another chance
C F C
Cause you think God ran out of his
Am F
Make some dinner and do those normal things
Am F
But the floor starts to sink again and show its ugly face with an
C G
expression you’ve memorized so bad a thousand times wouldn’t be
F
enough have to kill you first.

F C/G. F. C
But its gonna kill you, man if you, don’t...

V
F C
sober up and maybe even go for a drive
C F C F G
Talk to God, for a while cause He doesn’t love you any less than he did
Am F
In your weakness theres is strength.

Verse
C F C
At the first sound of defeat
C F C
Entering your brain aiming for your heart
Am F
Sending you to crashing from from underneath
F
But the peace of understanding the reason you still fight
G F C
Stays ahead of a hard time.
