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.

[Chorus:]

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.

[Chorus:]

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..

[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.

The End

***For acoustic, verses 2 & 4 can be played with G/C/D/C instead of G5/Csus/D5/Csus to

a more distorted sound.

**Special Thanks to Nuzza for the intro struming bit.

*And if anyone has any suggestions, well too bad, make ur own tab, it was a b*tch to do

lyrics for this.
