Version 1 Version 2[Intro] G F D G F D G F D G F D G F [Verse 1] Em C Warm yourself by the fire son, G D And the morning will come soon. Em C I'll tell you stories of a better time, G Em In a place that we once knew. [Verse 2] Em C Before we packed our bags and left all this D Em behind us in the dust, Em C We had a place that we could call home D Em And a life no-one could touch. [Chorus] Em 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. Em 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, do--n.. [Instrumental] G F D G F D G F D G F D G F [Verse 3] Em C We are the angry and the desperate, G D The hungry and the cold. Em C We are the one's who kept quiet, G Em And always did what we were told. [Verse 4] Em C But we've been sweaty when you slept so calm, D Em In the safety of your home. Em C We've been pulling out the nails that hold up, D Em Everything you've known. [Chorus] Em 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. Em 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, do--n.. [Bridge] Em D C Em So open your eyes, child lets be on our way, Em G C Em Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way. Em G D Em Keep quiet no longer we'll sing through the day, Em C G Em The lives that we've lost, the lives we've re claimed. [Chorus] Em 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. Em 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.
