[Verse 1]
[Am]Warm yourself by the fire,[F] son
And the [G]morning will come [Dm]soon[C]
[Am]I'll tell you stories of a bette[F]r time
In a [C]place that we once [Am]knew

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]Before we packed our bags
And [F]left all this be[G]hind us in the [Dm]dust[C]
[Am]We had a place that we could call [F]home
And a [C]life no one could [Am]touch

[Chorus 1]
Don't hold me [Am]up now
I can stand my [C]own ground
I don't need your [G]help now
You will let me [F]down, down, down
Don't hold me [Am]up now
I can stand my [C]own ground
I don't need your [G]help now
You will let me [F]down, down, down, down

[Verse 2]
[Am]We are the angry and the despe[F]rate
The [G]hungry and the [Dm]cold[C]
[Am]We are are the ones who kept quiet[F]
And always [C]did what we were [Am]told

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]But we've been sweating
while you [F]slept so calm
In the [G]safety of your [Dm]home[C]
[Am]We've been pulling out
the [F]nails that hold up
[C]Everything you've [Am]known

[Chorus 2]
Don't hold me [Am]up now
I can stand my [C]own ground
I don't need your [G]help now
You will let me [F]down, down, down
Don't hold me [Am]up now
I can stand my [C]own ground
I don't need your [G]help now
You will let me [F]down, down, down

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]So open your eyes,[C] child
Let's be on our [Dm]way
Broken windows and [C]ashes
Are guiding the [Dm]way
Keep quiet no [C]longer
We'll sing through the [Bb]day
Of the lives that we've [Am]lost
And the lives we've re[F]claimed, [C]go[G]
