I'll tell you stories of a better time, In a place that we once knew.
E5Before we packed our bags and C5left all this, BeD5hind us in the A5dust, E5We had a place that we could C5call home, And a G5life no one could E5touch.
CHORUS
Don't hold me Em7up now, I can stand my G5own ground I don't need your D5help now, You will let me Csus2down, down, down, Don't hold me Em7up now, I can stand my G5own ground I don't need your D5help now, You will let me Csus2down, down, down, down...

BRIDGE
So open your G5eyes child, let’s be on our Amway, Broken windows and G5ashes are guiding the Amway. Keep quiet no G5longer, we'll sing through the Fday, Of the lives that we've Emlost, and the lives we've reCsus2claimed.G5 D5
