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.
