Chords

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]

Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down!
