[Verse 1]
I'm Fspinning in circles but I'm Dmstraight outta Clines
With Fevery excuse, DmI'm fallen Cbehind
  DmNow watch me self Fdestruct, right Bbon time
  DmI built up every Fwall I've had Bbto climb

When Creal life ain't nothing but Dmanger and doubt
And Ffailure's a stranger we Call dream about
[Chorus]
I Bbhold it FdowCn, I Bbhold it FdowCn
So, Dmtell my doubts I'm Fcomin' hBbome
And Cput my Ffailures on the Bbphone
N.C.
Hold it down, let it go
F Dm C

I Fgambled my soul witDmhout knowing the sCtakes
And now I'm Ffilling a hole with Dmfalsehood and Cshame
DmUntil my guilty Fskin will turn Bbto stone
Lord, DmI'm a man of Fsin, now that BbI know

'Cause Creal life ain't nothing but Dmanger and doubt
And Ffailure's a stranger we Call've dreamed about
I Bbhold iFt downC  
I'm Clooking for answers, but Dmlost in my head
Now I Freach into darkness and take what I get
BbI hold iFt downC  
[Chorus]
I Bbhold iFt downC, I Bbhold it FdownC  
I Bbhold iFt downC, I Bbhold it FdownC  
So Dmtell my Fdoubts I'm comin' Bbhome
And Cput my Ffailures on the Bbphone
