Chords

[Intro] G F Em F x2 [Verse]
G                               F
I always thought I’d cross that river,

Em                      F
The other side distant now

G                            F
As I got close it turned and widened,

Em                     F
The horizon now fading out

      C                                         F
Oh drifting off in the undertow, can’t spot a figure on dry land

    C                                 F                                G  F Em F
And afterthoughts of safety when in truth, none to be had, none to be had
[Verse]
G                         F
I used to tell time by my shadow,

Em                               F
 ‘Til the thunderclouds, they took the stage

G                           F
The days will end as do the light’s rays,

Em                    F
Another read of the same page

C                                            F
Wide awake through this deepest night, still waiting on the sun

        C                             F
As the hours seem to multiply, find a star and soldier on

 C                                      F                             G   F
Living beneath the lion’s paw, knowing nothing can be tamed, can be tamed

           C
Don’t hold me down

           F       G
Don’t hold me down

           F
Don’t hold me down

           C
Don’t hold us down

       F           G
Don’t hold me down

                                   F
Share the light, don’t hold us down

                                  Em
Share the light, don’t hold us down

                                  F G
Share the light, don’t hold us down

                                   F
Share the light, don’t hold us down

                                  Em
Share the light, don’t hold us down

                                  F G
Share the light, don’t hold us down

                 F
Don’t hold us down

        Em
Don’t hold us down

       F             G
Don’t hold us down
