Ebm F#
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
C# B
And the morning will come soon.
I?ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.
Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.
Ebm
Don?t hold me up now,
F#
I can stand my own ground,
C#
I don?t need your help now,
B
You won't let me down, down, down!
Don?t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don?t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Down!
We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.
But we?ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We?ve been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you?ve known.
Don?t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don?t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Don?t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don?t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Abm F#
So open your eyes child,
Abm
Let?s be on our way.
F#
Broken windows and ashes
Abm
Are guiding the way.
F#
Keep quiet no longer,
Abm
We?ll sing through the day,
E5
Of the lives that we?ve lost,
Ebm
And the lives we?ve reclaimed.
Go!
Don?t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don?t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Don?t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don?t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Don?t hold me up?
(I don?t need your help, I?ll stand my ground)
Don?t hold me up?
(I don?t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don?t hold me up!
(I don?t need your help, I?ll stand my ground)
Don?t hold me up!
(I don?t need your help, I?ll stand my ground)
Don?t hold me down, down, down, down, down!
