[Verse 1]
D
How d'you know the music when you don't know the score
C D C
Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more
D
Is it really the reason when it is not a need
C D
Are you trying hard to write it before you can read
[Chorus]
F C D
Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down
F C D
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
F C D
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
C
Slow you down, you've gotta try
[Verse 2]
D
Does the clock that you're watching ever tell you 'bout the time
C D C
Does the song that you're singing sound to you like a rhyme
D
Will there be an answer when you stop asking why
C D
All because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie
[Chorus]
F C D
Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down
F C D
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
F C D
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
C
Slow you down, you've gotta try
[Interlude]

How d'you know the music when you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more

Are you trying hard to write it before you can read
Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try
Does the clock that you're watching ever tell you 'bout the time
Does the song that you're singing sound to you like a rhyme
Will there be an answer when you stop asking why
All because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try
How d'you know the music when you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more
Is it really the reason when it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it before you can read
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
