Ought To Know

[Intro]
A    E  A G   A G E
 
 
[Verse 1]
          A              G              A         G   E
You throw caution to the wind, you toss everyone aside
       A             G              A          G   E
Put it on your lucky number and you let it all ride
A                G                A                 E
I can't tell you nothin' that you don't already know
       A              G                  A                 E
You're bangin' on the dashboard, is this fast as it'll go?
 
 
[Chorus]
             D       A
You ought to know by now
             D       A
You ought to know by now
           F#m      D
It's gonna drag you down
             Dm      A  G   A G E
You ought to know by now
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                   G                  A                 G   E
We've heard all the stories, first you trip and then you fall
A                 G               A                G  E
You don't heed no warnin', you've probably seen it all
   A                    G                    A                   G   E
We watched you from the cheap seats with the whole world in your hand
     A                   G            A                  E
Your time is runnin' out now, like so many grains of sand
 
 
[Chorus]
             D       A
You ought to know by now
             D       A
You ought to know by now
           F#m      D
It's gonna drag you down
             Dm      A  G   A G E
You ought to know by now
 
 
[Bridge]
C#m                        F#m
I've seen you light up the sky
     F                        A
When you had the fire in your eyes
  C#m                         F#m
I guess it's just a matter of time
     F
Till you reach the end
    G
The end of your line

[Chorus]
             D       A
You ought to know by now
             D       A
You ought to know by now
           F#m      D
It's gonna drag you down
             Dm      A  G
You ought to know by now
