 Between heaven  and hell the devil in  me,
Burned  another branch on the family tree,
 You take the bottle  from my hand the whiskey  off my  breath,
Tell  me is there really still anything left,
 There's a limit  to livin' on Gods  green earth,
I'm  still tryin' to figure what  that's worth,
 Not makin'  any choices I'm  just makin'  mistakes,
Livin'  in a world where the sinners  are saints,
How  can I win  when the battle keeps changing,
Should  I just lay  down my gun,
Surrender  to the demons I'm facing,
 Do I fight  or do I run,
 Is this the moment  I finally  take a stand,
 And win this war  on a desperate man.
 Been praying  to God to let me hear  his voice,
Could  take me now if that's  his choice,
Who's  it gonna be who makes me  realize,
 There are days  I don't even wanna open  my eyes.
How  can I win  when the battle keeps changing,
Should  I just lay  down my gun,
Surrender  to the demons I'm facing,
 Do I fight  or do I run,
 Is this the moment  I finally  take a stand,
 And win this war  on a desperate man.

Between [Asus2]heaven and hell the [Bsus4]devil [E]in me,
[Asus2]Burned another branch on the [Bsus4]family [E]tree,
You take the [Asus2]bottle from my hand the [Bsus4]whiskey off [C#m]my brea[Bsus4]th,
[Asus2]Tell me is there really still [Bsus4]anything [E]left,
There's a [Asus2]limit to livin' on [Bsus4]Gods green [E]earth,
[Asus2]I'm still tryin' to figure [Bsus4]what that's [E]worth,
Not [Asus2]makin' any choices I'm[Bsus4] just makin[C#m]' mistak[Bsus4]es,
[Asus2]Livin' in a world where the [Bsus4]sinners are [E]saints,

[Asus2]How can I [E]win when the battle keeps [Asus2]changing,
[C#m]Should I just [Bsus4]lay down my [Asus2]gun,
[E]Surrender to the demons I'm [Asus2]facing,
[C#m]   Do I [Bsus4]fight or do I [Asus2]run,
Is this the [F#]moment I [E]finally take a [A]stand,
And win this [Bsus4]war on a desperate [E]man.

Been [Asus2]praying to God to let me [Bsus4]hear his [E]voice,
[Asus2]Could take me now if [Bsus4]that's his [E]choice,
[Asus2]Who's it gonna be who makes me[Bsus4] realiz[C#m]e,   [Bsus4]
There are [Asus2]days I don't even wanna [Bsus4]open my [E]eyes.

[Asus2]How can I [E]win when the battle keeps [Asus2]changing,
