Hold Your Head Up High
Verse: G-D-Em- D  C-D-G-   Dfirst time
       G-D-Em- D  C-D-G.....second time
Chorus: Em-C-G-  D  C-D-G-  Dfirst time
        Em-C-G-  D  C-D-G....second time
You said you're just one in the crowd
But your laughter is way too loud
You filled the darkest room with light
Your life has complicated you
But you know just what to do
The light you give is not in you
Hold your head up high
And this pain will die
Somehow, somewhere, just try
You're living in the dark
Where no one can see your tears
But hold your head up high
Can you tell me that I'm wrong?
Don't keep your broken heart too long
Deep inside you growing strong
Look beyond your life today
Can you see yourself this way
When the wintercold is gone
Hold your head up high
And this pain will die
Somehow, somewhere, just try
You're living in the dark
Where no one can see your tears
But hold your head up high

You said you're just one in the crowd

But your laughter is way too loud

You filled the darkest room with light

Your life has complicated you

But you know just what to do

The light you give is not in you

Hold your head up high

And this pain will die

Somehow, somewhere, just try

You're living in the dark

Where no one can see your tears

But hold your head up high

Can you tell me that I'm wrong?

Don't keep your broken heart too long

Deep inside you growing strong

Look beyond your life today

Can you see yourself this way

When the wintercold is gone

Hold your head up high

And this pain will die

Somehow, somewhere, just try

You're living in the dark

Where no one can see your tears

But hold your head up high
