I can’t remember when I felt this lost
Took a wrong turn trying to carry this cross
Why’d I have to go and get blessed with a curse
I’m chasing death or glory, whichever comes first

One for the money, four on the floor
You were born last week with your foot in the door
I heard truth is what songs are for
Nobody gives a damn about songs anymore

You had everything you needed to get it all right

You said you’re gonna get rich if it takes all night

Should I go to Texas or Tennessee

Or lock myself in Tulsa and throw away the key

One for the money, four on the floor
You were born last week with your foot in the door
I heard truth is what songs are for
Nobody gives a damn about songs anymore

// noodling

N.C.
One for the money, four on the floor
N.C.
You were born last week with your foot in the door
N.C.
I heard truth is what songs are for
N.C.
Nobody gives a damn about songs anymore

One for the money, four on the floor
You were born last week with your foot in the door
I heard that’s what songs are for
Nobody gives a damn about songs anymore

Intro]

[Verse 1]
There’s a truth I need to trust
But I can’t remember how
It’s stuck there in the stillness
But the noise is too damn loud
And I thought I [D/F#]was an actor
I’d let my [D/F#]colors show
But what if I’m just a bastard
Laying low inside your radio

[Verse 2]
Won’t you help me make a fist
And choke the poison back
We’ll close our eyes each godforsaken time
The world gets painted black
And we’ll wonder [D/F#]where it comes from
How the pain cuts [D/F#]through the pride
When the tools we use to fix ourselves
Are just the fools we stood beside

But love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, I don’t [D/F#]need an answer
I need you
[Verse 3]
Devotion strong but tender
Devotion dark and cold
Devotion like an anchor
Swinging from my soul
I used to [D/F#]weigh the distance
I used to [D/F#]miss my cues
I used to say I love you
Then wonder who I’m talking to

{Chorus]
But love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, I don’t [D/F#]need an answer
I need you

[Piano solo]
with verse chords.

[Verse 4]
So bring my all your questions
Bring me all your doubts
Don’t let me meet the devil
That I sang those songs about
Cause the hounds of [D/F#]youth are howling
And you’re all I’ve [D/F#]got to trust
With heaven’s lonely ghetto
Up there crying down on us

But love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, I don’t [D/F#]need an answer
I need you

Yeah, love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, I don’t [D/F#]need an answer
I need you
I need you
