Rise Against - Prayer Of The Refugee

          Em	C
 	Warm yourself by the 	fire son,
 	G 	D
 	and the morning will come 	soon.
 	Em	C
 	I'll tell you stories of a 	better time,
 	G	Em
 	In a place that we once 	knew.

 	Verse 2:
 	Em	C
 	before we packed our bags and 	left all this
 	D	Em
 	behind us in the 	dust,
 	Em	C
 	We had a place that we could 	call home
 	D	Em
and a 	life no-one could 	touch.

 	chorus:
 	Em
don't hold me up now,
 	                                G
 	I can stand my own ground
 	                               D
 	I don't need your help now,
 	                               C
 	You won't let me down, down, down.
 	Em
 	don't hold me up now,
 	                                G
 	I can stand my own ground
 	                                 D
 	I don't need your help now,
 	                               C
 	You won't let me down, down, down, dowwwwwwn..

 	Verse 3:
 	Em	C
 	We are the angry and the desperate,
 	G	 D
        The hungry and the cold.
 	Em	  C
 	 We are the one's who kept quiet,
 	              G	Em
        and always did what we were told.

 	Verse 4:
 	Em	C
 	but we've been sweaty when you slept so calm,
 	D	Em
        In the safety of your home.
 	Em	C
 	We've been pulling out the nails that hold up,
 	D	   Em
 	everything you've known.

 	chorus:
 	Em
        don't hold me up now,
 	                G
 	I can stand my own ground
 	                   D
 	I don't need your help now,
 	                   C
 	You won't let me down, down, down.
 	Em
 	don't hold me up now,
 	                G
 	I can stand my own ground
 	                    D
 	I don't need your help now,
 	                   C
 	You won't let me down, down, down, dowwwwwwn..


 	    Em  	D             C	         Em
 	So open your eyes, child lets be on our way,
 	  Em	            G         C	        Em
 	broken windows and ashes are guiding the way.
 	Em	G               D	Em
 	Keep quiet no longer we'll sing through the 	day,
 	Em	C             G	Em
 	The lives that we've lost, the lives we've re claimed.

 	chorus:
 	                      Em
 	don't hold me up now,
 	                            G
 	I can stand my own ground
 	                             D
 	I don't need your help now,
 	                        C
 	You won't let me down, down, down.
 	                        Em
 	don't hold me up now,
 	                            G
 	I can stand my own ground
 	                               D
 	I don't need your help now,
 	                                C
 	You won't let me down, down, down.
