[VERSE 1]
A#m G#
Holding up tight in a drunken haze
A#m G# A#m G# | A#m G#
Shutting out light to stop the day from taking hold
A#m G#
You cling to me with bloody hands
A#m G# A#m G# | A#m G#
Playing my part, this martyr's dance, it gets so old
[CHORUS]
F#maj7
Hold me down
G# C# G#/C | A#m G#
If you have to drown, I will drown with you
F# G#
If you have to burn, I'll burn in hell with you

[VERSE 2]
A#m G#
I've put to death a hundred times
A#m G# A#m G# | A#m G# |
Ghosts that haunt your weary mind as darkness grows
A#m G#
Then love breaks through your bitter stare
A#m G# A#m G# | A#m G# |
With all my strength I cannot bear to let you go
[CHORUS]

Hold me down

If you have to burn, I'll burn in hell with you
