[G]Warm yourself by the [Csus4]fire son,
And the [D5]morning will come [Csus4]soon.
[G]I'll tell you stories of a [Csus4]better time,
In a [D5]place that we once [Csus4]knew.
[G]Before we packed our bags and [Csus4]left all this,
Be[D5]hind us in the [Csus4]dust,
[G]We had a place that we could [Csus4]call home,
And a [D5]life no one could [Csus4]touch.
CHORUS
Don't hold me [Em7]up now,
I can stand my [G]own ground
I don't need your [D5]help now,
You won't let me [Csus4]down, down, down,
Don't hold me [Em7]up now,
I can stand my [G]own ground
I don't need your [D5]help now,
You won't let me [Csus4]down, down, down, down...

[G]We are the angry and the [Csus4]desperate,
The [D5]hungry and the [Csus4]cold.
[G]We are the ones who kept [Csus4]quiet,
And always [D5]did what we were [Csus4]told.
[G]But we've been sweating while you [Csus4]slept so calm,
In the [D5]safety of your [Csus4]home.
[G]We've been pulling out the [Csus4]nails that hold up,
[D5]Everything you've [Csus4]known.
CHORUS
Don't hold me [Em7]up now,
I can stand my [G]own ground
I don't need your [D5]help now,
You won't let me [Csus4]down, down, down,
Don't hold me [Em7]up now,
I can stand my [G]own ground
I don't need your [D5]help now,
You won't let me [Csus4]down, down, down...[Am]
BRIDGE I
[(Am)]So open your [G]eyes child, let?s be on our [Am]way,
Broken windows and [G]ashes are guiding the [Am]way.
Keep quiet no [G]longer, we'll sing through the [F/C]day,
Of the lives that we've [Em]lost, and the lives we've re[Csus4]claimed.[G5] [D5]
