It's all or nothing at all.

Sometimes I´m tired, Sometimes I´m shot

Sometimes I don´t know how much more I´ve got
C F/A
Maybe I´m headed over the hill

Maybe I´ve set myself up for the kill.

Tell me how much do you think you can take

Until the heart in you is starting to break?
C G C
Sometimes it feels like it will.
