[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
 
 
[Guitar Solo]

A G E   A G   A  E
A  G  A  E
 
 
[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
 
 
[Outro]
A G E   A G   A G E   A G
A G E   A G   A G E   A G
              You throw caution to the wind
You toss everyone aside
Put it on your lucky number
And you let it all ride

I can't tell you nothing
That you don't already know
You're bangin' on the dashboard
Is this as fast as it'll go?

You ought to know by now
Ought to know by now
It's gonna drag you down
Ought to know by now

We've heard all the stories
First you trip, and then you fall
You don't heed no warning
Yeah, you've probably seen it all

We watched you from the cheap seats
With the whole world in your hand
Your time is running out now
Like so many grains of sand

You ought to know by now
Ought to know by now
It's gonna drag you down
Ought to know by now
Yeah, by now

I've seen you light up the sky
When you had the fire in your eyes
I guess it's just a matter of time
'Til you reach the end
The end of your line, your line

You ought to know by now
Ought to know by now
It's gonna drag you down
Ought to know by now
Yeah, by now
