Eb

Warm yourself by the fire son,

And the morning will come soon.

I'll tell you stories of a better time,

In a place that we once knew.

Verse 2

Before we packed our bags and left all this

behind us in the dust,

We had a place that we could call home

And a life no-one could touch.

Chorus

Don't hold me up now,

I can stand my own ground

I don't need your help now,

You won't let me down, down, down.

Don't hold me up now,

I can stand my own ground

I don't need your help now,

You won't let me down, down, down, dowwwwwwn..

Verse 3

We are the angry and the desperate,

The hungry and the cold.

We are the one's who kept quiet,

And always did what we were told.

Verse 4

But we've been sweaty when you slept so calm,

In the safety of your home.

We've been pulling out the nails that hold up,

Everything you've known.

Chorus

Don't hold me up now,

I can stand my own ground

I don't need your help now,

You won't let me down, down, down.

Don't hold me up now,

I can stand my own ground

I don't need your help now,

You won't let me down, down, down, dowwwwwwn..

So open your eyes, child lets be on our way,

Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way.

Keep quiet no longer we'll sing through the day,

The lives that we've lost, the lives we've re claimed.

Chorus

Don't hold me up now,

I can stand my own ground

I don't need your help now,

You won't let me down, down, down.

Don't hold me up now,

I can stand my own ground

I don't need your help now,

You won't let me down, down, down.

I made it pretty easy, so if you're a better guitarist than I am (not hard to do (: ) feel free

jazz it up a bit!
