Warm yourself by the fire son,

And the morning will come soon.

And a place that we once knew.

We had a place that we could call home

And a life no-one could touch.

Don't hold me up now,

I can stand my own ground

I don't need your help now,
A
You won't let me down, down, down.

I can stand my own ground
B
I don't need your help now,
A
You won't let me down, down, down, dowwwwwwn..

Verse 3:
C#m A
We are the angry and the desperate,
E B
The hungry and the cold.
C#m A
We are the one's who kept quiet,
E C#m
And always did what we were told.

In the safety of your home.

Everything you've known.

So open your eyes, child lets be on our way,
E A C#m
