[Intro]
Am Asus x4
[Verse]
Am F Gadd9 Dsus
Warm yourself by the fire son and the morning will come soon
Am C Gadd9 Am
I’ll tell you stories of a better time in a place that we once knew
Am F Gadd9 Dsus
Before we packed our bags and left all this behind us in the dust
Am C Gadd9 Am
We had a place that we could call home and a life no one could touch
[Chorus]
Am
Don’t hold me up now
C
I can stand my own ground
Gadd9
I don’t need your help now
F
You will let me down, down, down
Am
Don’t hold me up now
C
I can stand my own ground
Gadd9
I don’t need your help now
F
You will let me down, down, down
F
Down
[Post Chorus]
Am Asus x4
[Verse]
Am C Gadd9 Dsus
We are the angry and the desperate, The hungry and the cold
Am C Gadd9 Am
We are the ones who kept quiet and always did what we were told
Am* A5*
But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm
G* Dsus
In the safety of your home
Am* C Gadd9 Am
And we’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up everything you’ve known
[Chorus]
Am
Don’t hold me up now
C
I can stand my own ground
Gadd9
I don’t need your help now
F
You will let me down, down, down
Am
Don’t hold me up now
C
I can stand my own ground
Gadd9
I don’t need your help now
F
You will let me down, down, down
[Bridge]
Gadd9
Dsus C
So open your eyes child
Dsus
Let’s be on our way
C
Broken windows and ashes
Dsus
Are guiding the way
C
Keep quiet no longer
A#5
We’ll sing through the day
Asus
Of the lives that we’ve lost
A#5 F Gadd
And the lives we’ve reclaimed
