VERSE 1
Em                   C
Warm yourself by the fire son,
        D                 Am
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.
Em                   C
Before we packed our bags and left all this,
  D              Am
Behind us in the dust,
Em                     C
We had a place that we could call home,
      G                 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, down...

VERSE 2
Em                       C
We are the angry and the desperate,
    D              Am
The hungry and the cold.
Em                       C
We are the ones who kept quiet,
    G                       Em
And always did what we were told.
Em                                C
But we've been sweating while you slept so calm,
       D              Am
In the safety of your home.
Em                         C
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up,
G                 Em
Everything you've known.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
             G                           Am
So open your eyes child, let’s be on our way,
                   G                     Am                    
Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way.
              G                              F
Keep quiet no longer, we'll sing through the day,
                        D                           C
Of the lives that we've lost, and the lives we've reclaimed.
