[Intro]
C#m  B  A  G#  C#m  B  A  G#

[Verse 1]
C#m       B                A
    I was born here in the badlands
C#m          B               A
    The only place I've ever known
C#m           B                 A
    My people lived amongst the shadows
C#m             B               A
    With all of nature as their home
C#m               B                 A
    I've Lived my life just like my father
C#m        B              A
    He was proud and dignified
C#m           B                A
    He always did his best for others
C#m                 B                  A
    Now something's changed him deep inside

[chorus]
E         B      A                                 C#m
I'll hold on cos I don't wanna watch my world burn down
E          B        A                       C#m
I'll stand tall and I won't let you make me fall

(C#m)  B  A  G#

[Verse 2]
C#m         B                A
    Now I'm told that I need saving
C#m            B               A
    In someone else's name and blood
C#m          B              A
    Cos everybody’s* born a sinner
C#m                B                    A
    It's been that way since before the flood
C#m        B                 A
    If you bathe me in these waters
C#m         B            A
    And you wash away my sins
C#m         B             A
    Can you ever* make me purer
C#m          B                   A
    If human darkness dwells within

[Chorus]
E         B      A                                 C#m
I'll hold on cos I don't wanna watch my world burn down
E          B        A                       C#m
I'll stand tall and I won't let you make me fall

(C#m)  B  A  G#

[Outro]
A               B                C#m
    I'll lay me down amongst the flowers
A            E                  B
    The only pretty things I've seen
A         B              C#m
    Maybe I don't need redeeming
A            E              B
    Maybe my soul's already clean

C#m       A              B
    Maybe I don't need redeeming
C#m          A              B
    Maybe my soul's already clean
C#m       A              B
    Maybe I don't need redeeming
C#m          A              B
    Maybe my soul's already clean

C#m  A  B  B
