Intro: C, E7sus4 , G , D 1x
You can tell me to [C]breathe
What to say when I [E7sus4]talk
Climb on my [G]back
You slide down my neck
And use my face for a [D]walk
You can tell me to [C]smile
You can make things [E7sus4]worthwhile
Need slap as I [G]cry
Probably laugh as I try
To figure out what you're [D]smiling about
Send me straight of to [Em]hell
To find a story to [D]tell
And you know that I [G]will
Make my life with my [Em]while
Give me a reason to [D]smile
You better hurry
And I [G]hope that you will
Don't ever [Em]hold [D]me [G]down
Don't ever [Em]hold [D]me [G]down
Intro: 1x opnieuw
Choose your life, it's you [C]choice
To fall asleep with the [E7sus4]noise
Yell at me and the [G]guys
When it's been one of those nights
You're probably [D]right
Oh, when you open your [C]mouth
The pretty words that roll [E7sus4]out
You point your finger at [G]me
You've seen the worst I can be
I hope you know what that [D]means
Send me straight of to [Em]hell
To find a story to [D]tell
And you know that I [G]will
Make my life with my [Em]while
Give me a reason to [D]smile
And you'd better hurry
And I [G]hope that you will
Don't ever [Em]hold [D]me [G]down
Don't ever [Em]hold [D]me [G]down
Intro nu 2x
Not the talk, good of [C]kind
And yesterday is [D]behind
And I believe that it's [Em]better that way
You send me straight of to [C]hell
To find a story to [D]tell
For you to go there
And you [Em]know that I will
But don't you step on my [C]brain
It drives a man [D]insane
And it's nothing to be [Em]laughing about
I got nothing to [C]prove
I'll be the fool for [D]you
If there's anything
[A]I'll help you out
But don't you ever [Em]hold [D]me [G]down
But don't you ever [Em]hold [D]me [G]down
You've got, you've got nothing to [Em]hold [D]me [G]down
Don't ever [Em]hold [D]me [G]down
You can tell me to [C]breathe
