Em7 Cadd9
Warm yourself by the fire son,
D5 Asus4
And the morning will come soon.
Em7 Cadd9
I'll tell you stories of a better time,
G5 Em7
In a place that we once knew.
Em7 Cadd9
Before we packed our bags and left all this,
D5 Asus4
Behind us in the dust,
Em7 Cadd9
We had a place that we could call home,
G5 Em7
And a life no one could touch.
CHORUS
Em7
Don't hold me up now,
G5
I can stand my own ground
D5
I don't need your help now,
Cadd9
You won't let me down, down, down,
Em7
Don't hold me up now,
G5
I can stand my own ground
D5
I don't need your help now,
Cadd9
You won't let me down, down, down, down...

Em7 Cadd9
We are the angry and the desperate,
D5 Asus4
The hungry and the cold.
Em7 Cadd9
We are the ones who kept quiet,
G5 Em7
And always did what we were told.
Em7 Cadd9
But we've been sweating while you slept so calm,
D5 Asus4
In the safety of your home.
Em7 Cadd9
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up,
G5 Em7
Everything you've known.
CHORUS
Em7
Don't hold me up now,
G
I can stand my own ground
D5
I don't need your help now,
Cadd9
You won't let me down, down, down,
Em7
Don't hold me up now,

I can stand my own ground

I don't need your help now,
Cadd9 Am
You won't let me down, down, down...
BRIDGE I
(Am) G5 Am
So open your eyes child, let’s be on our way,
G5 Am
Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way.
G F
Keep quiet no longer, we'll sing through the day,
Em7 Cadd9 G5 D5
Of the lives that we've lost, and the lives we've reclaimed.
