IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
The tuning of the official song is half-step down.
but this tab is already transposed to normal tuning.
If you want to play it like the official... tune your guitar half-step down
and let ultimate-guitar do the +1 transposing (so you get proper chord shapes)
At the intro I like to NOT play the low E and A string cause I don't like it.
otherwise just play 8's
I also like to continue playing intro at beginning, after each chorus, and after solo.

[Verse 1]
D#m B Warm yourself by the fire, son C# G# And the morning will come soon. D#m B I’ll tell you stories of a better time, C# D#m In a place that we once knew. D#m Before we packed our bags B C# G# And left all this behind us in the dust, D#m B We had a place that we could call home, C# D#m And a life no one could touch.
[Chorus]
D#m Don’t hold me up now, F# I can stand my own ground, C# I don’t need your help now, B You will let me down, down, down! D#m Don’t hold me up now, F# I can stand my own ground, C# I don’t need your help now, B B ~ You will let me down, down, down! Down!
[Verse 2]
D#m B We are the angry and the desperate C# G# The hungry, and the cold, D#m B We are the ones who kept quiet, C# D#m And always did what we were told. D#m B But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm, C# G# In the safety of your home. D#m B We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up C# D#m Everything you’re known.
[Chorus]
D#m Don’t hold me up now, F# I can stand my own ground, C# I don’t need your help now, B You will let me down, down, down! D#m Don’t hold me up now, F# I can stand my own ground, C# I don’t need your help now, B You will let me down, down, down!
[Bridge]
G#m F# So open your eyes child, G#m Let’s be on our way. F# Broken windows and ashes G#m Are guiding the way. F# Keep quiet no longer, E We’ll sing through the day, D#m Of the lives that we’ve lost, B F# C# And the lives we’ve reclaimed.
Go!
[Solo]
