Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

 A new morning's laughing in your face, another day to knock you down

All alone, depressed and tired in that cold and soulless town

 Their mocking words cut like knives through your flesh and through your bones

 If they only knew the pain that you've been through…

Chorus

 When life is such a burden

 You better understand that we

 Wanna give you a helping hand

 To the kids we proclaim

 No need to be ashamed

Hold fast, hold on, remain the same

Verse

 Never had much authority, you never had no luck

 No strength to find a way out of this haze where you are stuck

 But trust me, there will come a day, when you'll know where you belong

 Hold fast, young blood, true hope. This is your song!

Chorus

 When life is such a burden

 You better understand that we

 Wanna give you a helping hand

 To the kids we proclaim

 No need to be ashamed

Hold fast, hold on, remain the same
