Intro: C , E74 , G , D 1x
C
You can tell me to breathe
E74
What to say when I talk
G
Climb on my back
You slide down my neck
D
And use my face for a walk
C
You can tell me to smile
E74
You can make things worthwhile
G
Need slap as I cry
Probably laugh as I try
D
To figure out what you're smiling about
Em
Send me straight of to hell
D
To find a story to tell
G
And you know that I will
Em
Make my life with my while
D
Give me a reason to smile
You better hurry
G
And I hope that you will
EmDG
Don't ever hold me down
EmDG
Don't ever hold me down
Intro: 1x opnieuw
C
Choose your life, it's you choice
E74
To fall asleep with the noise
G
Yell at me and the guys
When it's been one of those nights
D
You're probably right
C
Oh, when you open your mouth
E74
The pretty words that roll out
G
You point your finger at me
You've seen the worst I can be
D
I hope you know what that means
Em
Send me straight of to hell
D
To find a story to tell
G
And you know that I will
Em
Make my life with my while

Give me a reason to smile
And you'd better hurry

And I hope that you will

C
Not the talk, good of kind
D
And yesterday is behind
Em
And I believe that it's better that way
C
You send me straight of to hell
D
To find a story to tell
For you to go there
Em
And you know that I will
C
But don't you step on my brain
D
It drives a man insane
Em
And it's nothing to be laughing about
C
I got nothing to prove
D
I'll be the fool for you
If there's anything
A
I'll help you out
EmDG
But don't you ever hold me down
EmDG
But don't you ever hold me down
EmDG
You've got, you've got nothing to hold me down
EmDG
Don't ever hold me down
