[Em] [Bm]
I [Em] [E] [Bm]
[Em] don't fear a thing, I'll get [E] on hot [Bm]
coals.
No [Em] sensitivity in a [Bm] fog of war.
[Em] Try to unwind, to enjoy [Bm] the good life.
The pressure [Em] that I hold on my [Bm] shoulders goes.
I [G] suspect the [E] reason I [Bm] am now
is [Em] because of how tight I'm [Bm] holding on.
[B] Now I'm hanging from the [Bm] prongs, problems on and on.
[G] Whatever happened to the old fashioned strong [Bm] and silent type?
What they did to us was to get us in touch with our feelings.
You were never giving in once we pulled the pin.
I [G] suspect the [E] reason I [Bm]
am now is [G] because of how [E] tight I'm [Bm] holding [B] on.
If [G] I set you [E] free, if I [Bm] let go, tell [G] me what I said.
[E] Be the one [B] you want, [A] [B]
keepin' the [A] broken fly.
[B] This life twice [A] a year, [B]
even helpless [A] in line.
[B] If you think away, if that is right, soldiers, don't go to hell.
It's a place for the dead and evil.
Now you're dead, you're [Bm] gonna torture me slowly [Bm] with it.
I [G] suspect the reason [Bm] I am now is [G] because of how [Bm] tight I'm holding on.
If I [G] set you free, if [Bm] I let go, tell me [G] what I said.
Be the [Bm] one you want.
[B] [G]
[E] [Bm] [G]
[B] [G]
[E] [B] [G]
[Em] [B] Oh, I suspect [G] the [E] reason I [Bm] am now is because [G] of how [E] tight [Bm] I'm [G]
[E] [Bm] holding on.
Tell me [G] what I said.
