(intro)
or
G5 Csus
Warm yourself by the fire son,
D5 Csus
And the morning will come soon.
G5 Csus
I'll tell you stories of a better time,
D5 Csus
In a place that we once knew.
(verse 2) (a little more distorted for electric)
G5 Csus
Before we packed our bags and we left all this
D5 Csus
Behind us in the dust,
G5 Csus
We had a place that we could call home
D5 Csus
And a life no-one could touch.
Em
Don't hold me up now,
G
I can stand my own ground
D
I don't need your help now,
C
You won't let me down, down, down.
Em
Don't hold me up now,
G
I can stand my own ground
D
I don't need your help now,
C
You won't let me down, down, down, ddoowwnn..
(verse 3)
G5 Csus
We are the angry and the desperate,
D5 Csus
The hungary and the cold.
G5 Csus
We are the one's who kept crying,
D5 Csus
And always did what we were told.
(verse 4) (a little more distorted for electric)
G5 Csus
But we've sweaty when you slept so cold,
D5 Csus
In the safety of your home.
G5 Csus
We've been pulling out the nails that holds up,
D5 Csus
Everything you've known.
Em
Don't hold me up now,
G
I can stand my own ground

You won't let me down, down, down.
Em
Don't hold me up now,
G
I can stand my own ground
D
I don't need your help now,
C
You won't let me down, down, down, ddoowwnn..
(bridge)
Csus D5 Csus
So open your eyes, so lets be on our way,
Csus D5 Csus
Broken windows and ashes guiding the way.
Csus D5 Csus
Keep crying no longer we'll sing through the day,
Csus Em7 D5
The lives that we've lost, the lives we've reclaimed.
