Capo: 6th fret

[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
              You can tell me to breathe
What to say when I talk
Climb on my back
You slide down my neck
And use my face for a walk

You can tell me to smile
You can make things worthwhile
Need slap as I cry
Probably laugh as I try
To figure out what you're smiling about

Send me straight of to hell
To find a story to tell
And you know that I will
Make my life worth my while
Give me a reason to smile
You better hurry
And I hope that you will

Don't ever hold me down
Don't ever hold me down

Choose your life, it's you choice
To fall asleep with the noise
Yell at me and the guys
When it's been one of those nights
You're probably right

Oh, when you open your mouth
The pretty words that roll out
You point your finger at me
You've seen the worst I can be
I hope you know what that means

Send me straight of to hell
To find a story to tell
And you know that I will
Make my life with my while
Give me a reason to smile
And you'd better hurry
And I hope that you will

Don't ever hold me down
Don't ever hold me down

Not the talkative of kind
And yesterday is behind
And I believe that it's better that way

You send me straight of to hell
To find a story to tell
For you to go there
And you know that I will

But don't you step on my brain
It drives a man insane
And it's nothing to be laughing about
I got nothing to prove
I'll be the fool for you
If there's anything,
I'll help you out

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