"Not Worth the Fight"

Oh come on, oh come all
To the cavalry call
And they say, he is coming for me
I could stand, I could fall
But I'm a pillar of salt
And he's coming for me

It's not worth the fight
But I won't run and hide

They tell me it is fine, happens all of the time
But I say, "Failure's no friend to me"
I stand firm, I stand tall
But I'm a pillar of salt
And he's coming for me

It's not worth the fight
But I won't run and hide
It's not worth the fight
So I won't run and hide from you today

One day I'll wake in bed
Find it's all in my head
And I'll say, "Failure's the best company."
Oh come one, oh come all
To the cavalry call
He is coming for me

But it's not worth the fight
But I can't run and hide
No, it's not worth the fight
So I won't run and hide from you today

Not Worth The Fight

V. 1	All this middle distance/tearing us apart
Well, I’ve been keepin’ busy with my heavy heart
I was once insistent/we should never start
But I kept my distance then I felt a start

V. 2 	Pictures on the wall, memories in frame
	Your smiling face, but the image it fades
	The rooms they echo with the sound of your name
	Grasping my keys, as I count down the days

V. 3	Can’t tell the difference between
	History and the make-believe
	So I close my eyes and dream to wake
	The river’s clear, but the stream’s opaque

Outro	The leaves are falling, your voice keeps calling me away.
	The highway is humming as the miles they tick away
	And the weak decay. But dark’s not here to stay.
	Seasons will change, and Middle Distance it will break.
	It will break.

Middle Distance

V. 1 	3 words or chords can change your life.
	You find out who you are, what you want, and what you think.
	It took a long time for me to recover. When I fall, I fall hard.
	I never came with strings attached. But I became the noose around your neck.

V. 2 	When I was young, I thought the world was spinning ‘round.
	But now I’m older, with my feet back on the ground.
	It took a long time for me to recover. When I fall, I fall hard.
	I never came with strings attached. But I became the noose around your neck.

Ch.	To: all those drunken nights I spent alone
	To: all those teenage fights I can’t undo
	To: all that time wasted getting over you
	Yeah, here’s to you.

Br.	I will never get those days back.
	But I don’t let that get me sidetracked.
	I never tried to be anything, yet I was a fool.
	You were the brick and mortar.
	I was the glue that held us together.
	And when it all fell apart, I was left with the pieces of a broken heart.
	Guess it was time to start anew.

V. 3	3 words or chords can change your life.
	I found out who I am, what I want, and what I like.
	It took me a long time for me to recover. When I fall, I fall hard.
	I never came with strings attached. But I became the noose around my neck.

Ch.	To: all those drunken nights I spent alone
	To: all those teenage fights I can’t undo
	To: all that time wasted getting over you
	Yeah, here’s to you.

Ch.	To: all those drunken nights I spent alone
	To: all those teenage fights I can’t undo
	To: all that time wasted getting over you
	Yeah, here’s to you.
