verse 1
 
Em               D 
Holding up tight in a drunken haze 
Em                 D                    Em     D   | Em D 
Shutting out light to stop the day from taking hold 
    Em          D 
You cling to me with bloody hands 
Em               D                       Em      D  | Em D 
Playing my part, this martyr's dance, it gets so old 



Cmaj7 
Hold me down 
       D              G           D/F#     | Em D 
If you have to drown, I will drown    with you 
       C                      D 
If you have to burn, I'll burn in hell with you 


INTERLUDE 1

verse 2 
     Em           D 
I've put to death a hundred times 
Em                D                  Em       D    | Em D | 
Ghosts that haunt your weary mind as darkness grows 
     Em                  D 
Then love breaks through your bitter stare 
     Em              D                Em      D | Em D | 
With all my strength I cannot bear to let you go 


 
Cmaj7 
Hold me down 
       D              G           D/F#     | Em D 
If you have to drown, I will drown    with you 
       C                      D 
If you have to burn, I'll burn in hell with you 


BRIDGE 
Am7           Em           D                G   D6/F# 
    If I can't  pull you up to breathe with me again, 
Am7               Em                D 
    Then your pain  is mine to share tonight 

    This fight will take us

Hold me down

If you have to drown, I will drown    with you

If you have to burn, I'll burn in hell with you 
Cmaj7     D 
     I'll burn in hell with you 
Cmaj7     D 
     I'll burn in hell with you
