F C F C (2x)
[Verse 1]
F C G
You paint me pictures that fade so fast
C F
To try and fool me
C G
You give me words that will never last
Am G F
But you won't rule me
[Verse 2]
C G
I shield my skin from the stinging rain
C F
My eyes I cover
C
I walk across these privileged fields
G F G
To the sound of a clumsy lover
[Chorus]
Am F Dm7
If you think you can hold me down
G
I beg to differ
Am F Dm7
If you think you can twist my words
G F
I'll sing forever
[Verse 3]
C G
You cannot change a mother's love for her child
C F
With the ill you bring
C
You're sending gifts that nobody wants
G Am G
With the cool fresh winds of spring
[Chorus]
Am F Dm7
If you think you can hold me down
G
I beg to differ
Am F Dm7
If you think you can twist my words
G
I'll sing forever
[Instrumental]
Am F Dm7 G (2x) F
[Verse 4]
C G
You change your shape and you change your face
C F
So I can't see you
C G
You travel from a different land
Am G
But I can't hear you
[Chorus]
Am F Dm7
If you think you can hold me down
G
I beg to differ
Am F Dm7
If you think you can twist my words
G
I'll sing forever
[Chorus]
Am F Dm7
If you think you can hold me down
G
I beg to differ
Am F Dm7
If you think you can twist my words
G
I'll sing forever
[Outro] (repeat and fade to end)
Am F Dm7 G
(If you think you can hold me down)
Am
I'll sing forever
F Dm7 G
{If you think you can twist my words)
Am
I'll sing forever
