Hold It Down

F Dm C
F Dm C


[Verse 1]
    F                       Dm               C
I'm spinning in circles but straight, out of line
     F             Dm          C
With every excuse, I've fallen behind
Dm                  F               Bb
  Now watch me self destruct, right on time
Dm                 F              Bb
  I built up every wall, I've had to climb


[Chorus]
     C                           Dm
When real life ain't nothing but anger and doubt
    F                       C
And failure's a stranger we all dream about
  Bb     F   C    Bb     F   C
I hold it down, I hold it down


[Verse 2]
   Dm                 F       Bb
So tell my doubts I'm comin' home
    C      F               Bb
And put my failures on the phone

Hold it down, let it go

F Dm C

  F                  Dm                C
I gambled my soul without knowing the stakes
            F                    Dm             C
And now I'm filling a hole, with falsehoods and shame
Dm                F                Bb
And so my guilty skin will turn to stone
     Dm            F            Bb
Lord, I'm a man of sin, now that I know


[Chorus]
     C                           Dm
When real life ain't nothing but anger and doubt
    F                       C
And failure's a stranger we all dream about
  Bb    F     C   Bb     F    C
I hold it down, I hold it down


[Bridge]
   Dm                 F      Bb
So tell my doubts I'm comin' home
    C      F               Bb
And put my failures on the phone
       C                           Dm
'Cause real life ain't nothing but anger and doubt
    F                           C
And failure's a stranger we've all dreamed about
  Bb    F     C
I hold it down
    C                        Dm
I'm looking for answers, but lost in my head
      F
Now I reach into darkness and take what I get
Bb      F     C
I hold it down


[Chorus]
  Bb    F     C   Bb     F    C
I hold it down, I hold it down
  Bb    F     C   Bb     F    C
I hold it down, I hold it down


[Outro]
   Dm      F                 Bb
So tell my doubts I'm comin' home
    C      F               Bb
And put my failures on the phone
