or
[G5]Warm yourself by the [Csus]fire son,
[D5]And the morning will come [Csus]soon.
[G5]I'll tell you stories of a [Csus]better time,
[D5]In a place that we once [Csus]knew.
[Verse 2:]
[G5]Before we packed our bags and we [Csus]left all this
[D5]behind us in the [Csus]dust,
[G5]We had a place that we could [Csus]call home
And a [D5]life no-one could [Csus]touch.

[Verse 3:]
[G5]We are the angry and the [Csus]desperate,
The [D5]hungary and the [Csus]cold.
[G5]We are the one's who kept [Csus]crying,
And [D5]always did what we were [Csus]told.
[Verse 4:]
[G5]But we've sweaty when you [Csus]slept so cold,
In the [D5]safety of your [Csus]home.
[G5]We've been pulling out the [Csus]nails that holds up,
[D5]Everything you've [Csus]known.
[Cborus:]
[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, ddoowwnn..
[Bridge:]
[Csus]So open your [D5]eyes, so lets be on our [Csus]way,
[Csus]Broken windows and [D5]ashes guiding the [Csus]way.
[Csus]Keep crying no [D5]longer we'll sing through the [Csus]day,
[Csus]The lives that we've [Em7]lost, the lives we've re[D5]claimed.

****Little mock-chorus at the end but same chords as chorus above.
The End
***For acoustic, verses 2 & 4 can be played with G/C/D/C instead of G5/Csus/D5/Csus to a
distorted sound.
**Special Thanks to Nuzza for the intro struming bit.
*And if anyone has any suggestions, well too bad, make ur own tab, it was a b*tch to do
for this. And by the way this is the exact same song as diaspora which was mislabeled on
of the albums, so i did this for both.
