Intro line 1
C G/B Am G F G C (Csus4)

[Verse 1]
C F Dm G
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
Em Am Dm Ab
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
C F Dm G
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
Em Am Dm Ab
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God

[Chorus 1]
C G/B Am Em F G C
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C G/B Am Em F G C
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

[Verse 2]
C F Dm G
There's people around who tell you that they know
Em Am Dm Ab
And places where they send you and it's easy to go
C F Dm G
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
Em Am Dm Ab
But you know you don't have to, you can just say, "No"

[Chorus 2]
C G/B Am Em F G C
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C G/B Am Em F G C
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C G/B Am Em F G C
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
C G/B Am Em F G C
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

[Bridge]
Dm F
I've been built up and trusted,
Dm F
Broke down and busted
Dm Em Fm Gm Am
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if we can
C Am
Just hold on,
