You can hold me
B F# Db
But you can't hold me down
B
Since I was a kid
F#
It wasn't easy to fit
Db
I was moving around
Ebm
Every couple of years
B
Every friend that I had
F# Db
Was a friend that I had to leave
B
And now that I am
F#
A more experienced man
Db
Now I have to believe
Ebm
It's all part of the plan
B
I still don't belong
F# Db
But I belong in your arms
B F# Db Ebm
You can hold me
B F# Db
But you can't hold me down
B
It happens with lovers
F#
It happens with friends
Db
You push them away
Ebm
Just by closing them in
B
Every friend that you have
F# Db
Is a friend that will have to leave
