A/D D A/D D Six by six, from wall to wall E/A A E/A A Shutters on the windows, no light at all B/E Em B/E Em Damp on the floor, you got damp in the bed D/G G D/G G They try to get you crazy, get you out of your head A/D D A/D D And they feed you scraps and they feed you lies E/A A E/A A To lower your defences, no compromise B/E Em B/E Em Nothing you can do, the day can be long D/G G D/G G Your mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong A/D D A/D D Hold on E/A A E/A A Hold on B/E Em B/E Em Hold on D/G G D/G G Hold on A/D D A/D D Hold on E/A A E/A A Hold on
[Pre-Chorus]
B/E Em B/E Em They put you in a box so you can't get hurt D/G G D/G G Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
[Chorus]
A Bm D/Gb Hold on G Em D you have gambled with your own life D Gbm/Db Bm G A Bm D/Gb you face the night alone G Em D While the builders of the cages D Gbm/Db Bm G A Bm D/Gb Sleep with bullets, bars and stone G Em D They do not see the road to freedom D Gbm/Db Bm G A That you build with flesh and bone
[Verse 2]
A/D D A/D D They take you out, the light burns your eyes E/A A E/A A To the talking room, it's no surprise B/E Em B/E Em Loaded questions from the clean white coats D/G G D/G G Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath A/D D A/D D They tell you how to behave, behave as their guest E/A A E/A A You want to resist them, you do your best B/E Em B/E Em They take you to your limits, they take you beyond D/G G D/G G For all that they are doing there's no way to respond A/D D A/D D Hold on E/A A E/A A Hold on
[Pre-Chorus]
B/E Em B/E Em They put you in a box so you can't get hurt D/G G D/G G Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
[Chorus]
A Bm D/Gb Hold on G Em D you have gambled with your own life D Gbm/Db Bm G A Bm D/Gb you face the night alone G Em D While the builders of the cages D Gbm/Db Bm G A Bm D/Gb Sleep with bullets, bars and stone G Em D They do not see the road to freedom D Gbm/Db Bm G D That you build with flesh and bone
