Verse
Am G
Why don't you tell me what do you need
C Dm
There is a blank page for you
Am G
Give me the bones of what you believe
C Dm
Maybe they'll save you from me
[Verse 2]
Am G
Will I be the strong hand keeping you safe
C Dm
or will I break you in half
F G
and you will never be under my thumb
C Dm
but you were not your own land
[Chorus]
F G
See the way we all run
C F
When we know it off by heart
G
Played down, waiting all out
C F
When we win or lose it this time
F G
When the pressure's building for a great white hope
C F
do you give up the things that you love
F G
and the pressure's building till it takes you whole
C F Fsus2
can you go back on your own word
[Verse 3]
Am G
All of your brothers, they never died
C Dm
For what you kill for slowly
F G
How it will grind you into the ground
C Dm
If you should try to hold me
[Chorus]
F G
See the way we all run
C F
When we know it off by heart
G
Played down, waiting all out
C F
When we win or lose it this time
F G \
When the pressure's building for a great white hope |
C F |
do you give up the things that you love | 2x
F G |
and the pressure's building till it takes you whole |
C F |
can you go back on your own word /
