 	Em	C
 	Warm yourself by the fire son,

 	And the morning will come soon.

 	Iʼll tell you stories of a better time,
 	G	Em
 	In a place that we once knew.

Verse:
 	Em	C
 	Before we packed our bags and left all this

 	behind us in the dust,
 	Em	C
 	We had a place that we could call home

        And a life no-one could touch.

Chorus:

        Donʼt hold me up now,
 	                       G
 	I can stand my own ground

 	Donʼt hold me up now,
 	                       G
 	I can stand my own ground
 	                       D
 	I donʼt need your help now,
 	                               C
 	You wonʼt let me down, down, down, dowwwwwwn..

Verse:
 	Em	C
 	We are the angry and the desperate,
 	G	 D
        The hungry and the cold.
 	Em	  C
 	 We are the oneʼs who kept quiet,
 	              G	Em
        And always did what we were told.

Verse:
 	Em	C
 	But weʼve been sweaty when you slept so calm,
 	D	Em
        In the safety of your home.
 	Em	C
 	Weʼve been pulling out the nails that hold up,
 	D	   Em
 	Everything youʼve known.

Chorus:

 	                   D
 	I donʼt need your help now,
 	                   C
 	You wonʼt let me down, down, down.
 	Em
 	Donʼt hold me up now,
 	                G
 	I can stand my own ground
 	                    D
 	I donʼt need your help now,

 	    Em  	D             C	         Em
 	So open your eyes, child lets be on our way,
 	  Em	            G         C	        Em
 	Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way.
 	Em	G               D	Em
 	Keep quiet no longer weʼll sing through the day,
 	Em	C             G	Em
 	The lives that weʼve lost, the lives weʼve re claimed.

Chorus:
 	                  Em
