[Intro]
D G Bm x2
[Strophe]
D                    G        Bm            D G Bm 
Man, you really know how to get someone down 
D                 G      Bm               D G Bm 
Everything was fine, until you came around
[Pre-Refrain]
                A/C#                          G 
And I’ve been chasing after dreamers in the clouds 
     A/C#                          G 
After all wasn’t I the one who said 
   G           G/B G/A        Em 
To keep your feet on the ground 
 
Man, you really brought me back down
[Refrain]
G          D               A 
Hold onto hope if you got it 
G            D           A 
Don’t let it go for nobody 
G                 D            A 
And they say that dreaming is free 
G              D                 A 
But I wouldn’t care what it cost me
[Strophe]
D                   G        Bm                 D G Bm 
You got me tied up but I stay close to the window 
D                   G        Bm                    D G Bm 
And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go 
                   A/C#                    G 
I'm hoping someday maybe I'll just float away 
                   A/C#               G 
And I'll forget every cynical thing you say 
               G/B G/A   Em 
When you gonna hear me out 
 
Man, you really bring me down
[Refrain]
G          D               A 
Hold onto hope if you got it 
G            D           A 
Don’t let it go for nobody 
G                 D            A 
And they say that dreaming is free 
G              D                 A 
But I wouldn’t care what it cost me
[Pont]
Em A 
     Reality will break your heart 
Em   A                         Em 
      Survival will not be the hardest part  
A                                  Em 
  It’s keeping all your hopes alive 
A 
 When all the rest of you has died 
  
So let it break your heart
[Refrain]
G          D          A 
Hold onto hope if you got it 
G            D        A 
Don’t let it go for nobody 
G         D           A 
Hold onto hope if you got it 
G            D        A 
Don’t let it go for nobody 
G                 D           A 
And they say that dreaming is free 
G              D            A 
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
