G C I'll tell you stories of a better time, D C In a place that we once knew. (verse 2) (a little more distorted for electric) G C Before we packed our bags and we left all this D C Behind us in the dust, G C We had a place that we could call home D C And a life no-one could touch. (chorus) Em Don't hold me up now, G I can stand my own ground D I don't need your help now, C You won't let me down, down, down.

(filler) (verse 3) G C We are the angry and the desperate, D C The hungary and the cold. G C We are the one's who kept crying, D C And always did what we were told. (verse 4) (a little more distorted for electric) G C But we've sweaty when you slept so cold, D C In the safety of your home. G C We've been pulling out the nails that holds up, D C Everything you've known.

(bridge) C D C So open your eyes, so lets be on our way, C D C Broken windows and ashes guiding the way.
