G5Warm yourself by the Csusfire son,
D5And the morning will come Csussoon.
G5I'll tell you stories of a Csusbetter time,
D5In a place that we once Csusknew.
[Verse 2:]
G5Before we packed our bags and we Csusleft all this
D5behind us in the Csusdust,
G5We had a place that we could Csuscall home
And a D5life no-one could Csustouch.
[Chorus:]
EmDon't hold me up now,
GI can stand my own ground
DI don't need your help now,
CYou won't let me down, down, down.
EmDon't hold me up now,
GI can stand my own ground
DI don't need your help now,
CYou won't let me down, down, down, ddoowwnn..

[Verse 3:]
G5We are the angry and the Csusdesperate,
The D5hungary and the Csuscold.
G5We are the one's who kept Csuscrying,
And D5always did what we were Csustold.
[Verse 4:]
G5But we've sweaty when you Csusslept so cold,
In the D5safety of your Csushome.
G5We've been pulling out the Csusnails that holds up,
D5Everything you've Csusknown.
[Chorus:]
EmDon't hold me up now,
GI can stand my own ground
DI don't need your help now,
CYou won't let me down, down, down.
EmDon't hold me up now,
GI can stand my own ground
DI don't need your help now,
CYou won't let me down, down, down, ddoowwnn..
[Bridge:]
CsusSo open your D5eyes, so lets be on our Csusway,
CsusBroken windows and D5ashes guiding the Csusway.
CsusKeep crying no D5longer we'll sing through the Csusday,
CsusThe lives that we've Em7lost, the lives we've reD5claimed.

The End
***For acoustic, verses 2 & 4 can be played with G/C/D/C instead of G5/Csus/D5/Csus to a
distorted sound.
**Special Thanks to Nuzza for the intro struming bit.
*And if anyone has any suggestions, well too bad, make ur own tab, it was a b*tch to do
for this. And by the way this is the exact same song as diaspora which was mislabeled on
of the albums, so i did this for both.
