Living

      G     C        Em      Am
Stuck in a rut you can't get out
      G     C        Em       Am
There's too much causing you doubt
     G       C       Em     Am
No cash, no job, no self-esteem
    G      C       Em     Am
Me I'm takin' and I'm givin'

       G       C               Em    Am
If you got the gift you should use it
       G     C             Em     Am
Opportunity, don't want to lose it
       G        C                Em       Am
Climb over the walls, break down all the doors
           G     C     E
When your future calls


[Pre-Chorus]

          Am      G            C
Don't let nothing hold you down
        Em                  Am   G C E
Nothing hold you down, down
          Am      G            C
Don't let nothing hold you down
        Em                 Am    G C
Nothing hold you down, down

They may wreck your dreams if you let them

Keep them goals in sight, don't forget them

Keep your head up high, yes the future's bright
