             A
You turn my head
I spin my wheels
B
Running on empty
      D
You know how that feels
A
I'm on a roll now
Or is it a slide?
B
Can't be too careful
           D
With that dangerous pride
A                           C
If I could only reach that dial inside
                            A
If I could only reach that dial inside
                            C
If I could only reach that dial inside
And turn it up

Chorus:
B
Face up...
Face up or you can only back down
     D
Face up...
Hit the target or you better hit the ground
     B
Face up...
There's still time to turn this game around
     D
Face up...
Turn it up
                        B
Or turn that wild card down
     D
Face up...
Turn it up

Don't complain
Don't explain
I don't think my new resolve
Can stand the strain
I'm in a groove now
Or is it a rut?
I need some feedback
But all the lines are cut
I get so angry, but I keep my mouth shut
I get so angry, but I keep my mouth shut
I get so angry, but I keep my mouth shut
And turn it up

Chorus:
Face up...
Face up or you can only back down
Face up...
Hit the target or you better hit the ground
Face up...
There's still time to turn this game around
Face up...
Turn it up
Or turn that wild card down
Face up...
Turn it up

B
You get all squeezed up inside
G
Like the days were carved in stone
B
You get all wired up inside
G
And it's bad to be alone

You can go out, you can take a ride
And when you get out on your own
You get all smoothed out inside
And it's good to be alone
Turn it up

Chorus:
Face up...
Face up or you can only back down
Face up...
Hit the target or you better hit the ground
Face up...
There's still time to turn this game around
Face up...
Turn it up
Or turn that wild card down - x2

Face up...
Turn it up
Or turn that wild card down
If I could only reach that dial inside
Turn that wild card
If I could only reach that dial inside
Or turn that wild card down
If I could only reach that dial inside
Turn it up
Or turn that wild card
If I could only reach that dial inside
Turn it up
Or turn your wild card down
