[Intro] F  A7sus4  C  G 


                   F
You can tell me to breathe
                   A7sus4
What to say when I talk
            C
Climb on my back

You slide down my neck
                      G
And use my face for a walk

                   F
You can tell me to smile
                    A7sus4
You can make things worthwhile
               C
Need slap as I cry

Probably laugh as I try
                          G
To figure out what you're smiling about

                       Am
Send me straight of to hell
                   G
To find a story to tell
                    C
And you know that I will
                     Am
Make my life worth my while
                    G
Give me a reason to smile

You better hurry
      C
And I hope that you will


           Am*  G* C*
Don't ever hold me down
           Am*  G* C*
Don't ever hold me down


F  A7sus4  C  G 


                           F
Choose your life, it's you choice
                        A7sus4
To fall asleep with the noise
                   C
Yell at me and the guys

When it's been one of those nights
                G
You're probably right

                       F
Oh, when you open your mouth
                           A7sus4
The pretty words that roll out
                         C
You point your finger at me

You've seen the worst I can be
                          G
I hope you know what that means

                       Am
Send me straight of to hell
                   G
To find a story to tell
                    C
And you know that I will
                     Am
Make my life worth my while
                    G
Give me a reason to smile

And you'd better hurry
      C
And I hope that you will

           Am   G  C
Don't ever hold me down
           Am   G  C
Don't ever hold me down


F  A7sus4  C  G  
F  A7sus4  C  G 

                      F
Not the talk, good of kind
                 G
And yesterday is behind
                        Am
And I believe that it's better that way

                           F
You send me straight of to hell
                   G
To find a story to tell

For you to go there
        Am
And you know that I will

                         F
But don't you step on my brain
                G
It drives a man insane
                       Am
And it's nothing to be laughing about
                 F
I got nothing to prove
                     G
I'll be the fool for you

If there's anything
D
I'll help you out

                   Am   G  C
But don't you ever hold me down
                   Am   G  C
But don't you ever hold me down
                                  Am   G  C
You've got, you've got nothing to hold me down
           Am   G  C
Don't ever hold me down
