Motion City Soundtrack - Hold Me Down

song is pretty easy just listen to the song to get the tempo ! i play it with A
capo on the 2nd fret due to the key i sing in but these are the basic chords no
matter where it is capo’d! thanks

C G
i found a letter that said :
C G
“i’m sorry that you were asleep when i wrote these words down , ”
C G C G
you’d think i’d ought to be used to that by now .
C G
save for a few of those late night episodes ,
C G
missed opportunities , and “i don’t cares , ”
C G C G
there’s not a lot that i feel obliged to share or talk about .
C G C
i’ll have my brother stop by this saturday to pick up my things ,
G
just make sure you’re not there .
C G C
this may sound bad , and don’t take it the wrong way . .
G
i love you , however ,
F
you hold me down x4
C
you’re the echoes of my everything ,
G Am F
you’re the emptiness the whole world sings at night .
C
you’re the laziness of afternoon ,
G Am F
you’re the reason why i burst and why i bloom .
C G Am F ( can also be played Am G F )
how will i break the news to you? x2

repeat above!

cancel our dinner with max and coraline ,
feed jacky’s gerbil and try to stay clean .
we’ll talk it over after i’ve had some time alone to sort it out .
you hold me down x4

you’re the echoes of my everything ,
you’re the emptiness the whole world sings at night .
you’re the laziness of afternoon ,
you’re the reason why i burst and why i bloom .
you’re the leaky sink of sentiment ,
you’re the failed attempts i never could forget .
you’re the metaphors i can’t create to comprehend this curse that i call love . .
how will i break the news to you? x5
