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

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
