G5Csus
Warm yourself by the fire son,
D5Csus
And the morning will come soon.
G5Csus
I'll tell you stories of a better time,
D5Csus
In a place that we once knew.
(verse 2) (a little more distorted for electric)
G5Csus
Before we packed our bags and we left all this
D5Csus
Behind us in the dust,
G5Csus
We had a place that we could call home
D5Csus
And a life no-one could touch.
(chorus)
Em
Don't hold me up now,

I don't need your help now,
C
You won't let me down, down, down.

Don't hold me up now,
G
I can stand my own ground
D
I don't need your help now,
C
You won't let me down, down, down, ddoowwnn..

(verse 3)
G5Csus
We are the angry and the desperate,
D5Csus
The hungary and the cold.
G5Csus
We are the one's who kept crying,
D5Csus
And always did what we were told.
(verse 4) (a little more distorted for electric)
G5Csus
But we've sweaty when you slept so cold,
D5Csus
In the safety of your home.
G5Csus
We've been pulling out the nails that holds up,
D5Csus
Everything you've known.
