WHITE KNUCKLED
As recorded by Cory Asbury
(From the 2023 Album PIONEER)
Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
G Em7 C G G/B Em C
[Verse 1]
GYou know it scares me
GBut I ain't gonna leave
C GI just got a few things I really need
Am7To get off of my chest and out of my head
C D'Cause lately, I'm barely breathing
[Verse 2]
GAnd all of this pressure
GI can't help but feel
CIt probably won't end well
G/BIf I don't get real
Am7Everybody wants somethin'
Am7And then they want more
C DI can't shoulder it anymore
[Chorus]
GBeen white-knuckled
G/B Em CJust hanging on for dear life
G Em7 CMeanwhile the clock's like a thief in the night
G Em CMaybe tomorrow, I'll finally decide
Am7 GTo slow it all down
D CWhile I still got time
[Verse 3]
GI'll hold a job down
GBut you hold my heart
Cmaj7You know my intention
Cmaj7And my every scar
Am7I got to get back to
Em CWhat once was a fire, nothing's means more
DThan this love of ours
[Chorus]
GI've been white-knuckled
G/B Em CJust hanging on for dear life
G Em7 CMeanwhile the clock's like a thief in the night
G Em CMaybe tomorrow, I'll finally decide
Am7To slow it all down
D Am7While I still got time
[Bridge]
Am7 DWhat's it all worth, living like this?
Am7 DAnd missing the beautiful moments life has to give us
[Out-Chorus]
GI've been white-knuckled
D/F# Em C G EmJust hanging on for dear life
GI've been white-knuckled
D/F# Em CJust hanging on for dear life
G D/F# Em CMeanwhile the clock's like a thief in the night
G D/F# Em CMaybe tomorrow, I'll finally decide
Am7To slow it all down
D G EmWhile I still got time
G G/B Em C GWhile I still got time, time, time, time
