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
Another read of the same page
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
