Verse 2:
[Em]Before w[C]e packed our bags and left all this

And a [D]life no-[Em]one could touch.
Chorus:
Don't ho[Em]ld me up now,
I can stand my own ground[G]
I don't need your help now,[D]
You won't let me down, down, do[C]wn.
[Em]Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground[G]

You won't let me down, down, do[C]wn, dowwwwwwn..

Verse 3:
[Em]We are t[C]he angry and the desperate,
[G]The hungr[D]y and the cold.
[Em] We are th[C]e one's who kept quiet,
And always did[G] w[Em]hat we were told.

Verse 4:
[Em]But we'v[C]e been sweaty when you slept so calm,
[D]In the s[Em]afety of your home.
[Em]We've be[C]en pulling out the nails that hold up,
[D]Everything [Em]you've known.
Chorus:
[Em]Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my o[G]wn ground
I don't need your h[D]elp now,
You won't let me do[C]wn, down, down.
[Em]Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my o[G]wn ground
I don't need your he[D]lp now,
You won't let me do[C]wn, down, down, dowwwwwwn..
So o[Em]pen your eye[D]s, child lets [C]be on our w[Em]ay,
Br[Em]oken windows and a[G]shes are g[C]uiding the[Em] way.
[Em]Keep qui[G]et no longer we'[D]ll sing [Em]through the day,
[Em]The live[C]s that we've l[G]os[Em]t, the lives we've re claimed.
Chorus:
Don't hold me up now,[Em]
I can stand my own ground[G]
I don't need your help now,[D]
You won't let me down, d[C]own, down.
Don't hold me up now,[Em]
I can stand my own ground[G]
I don't need your help now,[D]
You won't let me down, down, dow[C]n.
