Lyrics Foster the People

Foster the People

Helena Beat

Em D

Sometimes life it takes you by the hand

C D

It puts you down before you know it

It's gone and you're dead again

Em D

I've been in places and I won't pretend

C D

That I make it I just

G D Em

Follow my head

Em D

When it's strange to take a walk downstairs

Sweep you all up on a corner

And pay for my bread

Em D

You know that I cannot believe my own truth

C D

To show what a truth

G D Em

Got nothing to lose

Yeah yeah and it's okay

C D

I tie my hands up to a chair

So I don't fall that way

Em D

Yeah yeah and I'm alright

C D

I took a sip of something poison

G D Em

But I'll hold on tight

You know those days when you wanted to choose

To not get out of bed and

Get lost in your head again

You play the game but you gotta cut

Cuz' you're coming down hard

Your joints are off stud

I tried to say that's not the only way

I never knew if I could

Convince myself to change

You were pacing I was insecure

Slip and fall I got the calls of the

Prison I was living in

Yeah yeah and it's okay

I tie my hands up to a chair

So I don't fall that way

Yeah yeah and I'm alright

I took a sip of something poison

But I'll hold on tight
