[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ Welcome back, [D] folks.
Austin Alsup has spent years developing his own brand of soulful Texas rock, which pays
tribute [G] to his influences like Tom Petty, The Stones, and that little old band from
Texas, ZZ [E] Top.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] You know what I'm saying.
_ _ _ [A] Fill It Up, kind of just a feel-good song, you know.
[G] Me and Jake were actually feeling pretty bad one morning after a [D] long run on the road,
and we got in the van and, man, let's go eat some good food and just [Dm] kind of take it easy
today, you know.
[D] We were talking about eating some chicken and stuff, and that's where the first line
came from, you know, I like my chicken burned, [G] and _ [Dm]
it's just kind of, you know, life gives
you something, you know.
[G] It makes something more out of it, you know, than what it gives you.
You get to a place where you start thinking, _
_ [D] you know, _ I've done a lot of stuff, I've met
a lot of people, you know, you get to do some really cool [A] things doing what we do in
the music business and traveling and [G] all that stuff, and _ every once in a while you [D] do a
string of shows that remind you just how real it is, you know, and you're very thankful
for getting to do all that stuff, and _ to me, you know, I kind of think we drew a little
inspiration out of that, just kind of being thankful for having more than we really ever
thought we would.

you a plate you better [G] fill it up, _ _ _ well [D] when life hand you a plate you better [G] fill it _ up. _

_ [C] _ _ when life hand you a cup you better [G] fill it _ up, _ _ [A] yeah when life [D] hand you a cup you better [G] fill it up. _ _
_ You [C] came a river of high, felt the cold dive, [G] you got away through the water to the other
side, [D] you wind up sleeping Lord you gave it one hell [G] of a ride.

_ If [C] you ever find out the bridges you [Em] burn ain't nothing [G] more than a lesson learned [C] in time, _ _
_ you're [D] doing fine, _ _ _ you're [G] doing just _ fine.
_ _ _ _ Oh I tried to tell you honey, [F#] _ [G] _ oh yeah, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ my head and [E] I, to pray [G] my blood still falling
from a long hard [C] day, life can get you down [G] but hell pick you _ up, yeah well, well [D] when life hand
you a plate you better [G] fill it up, _ _ _ _ you [C] can't roar, high, duck or dive, [G] you got away through the water
to the other side, [D] wind up sleeping Lord you gave it one hell [G] of a ride.
