[Verse]

Am Am G G F F G G
My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
Am Am G G F F G G
I need them mechanically make the words come out
Am Am G G F F G G
They fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounce
Am Am G G F F G G
They light me licking up the flames they bring about


[Pre-Chorus]

Am Am G G
I sold my soul to a three-piece
F F G G Am Am
And he told me I was holy
G G
He's got me down on my knees
F F G G
But it's the devil that's tryna


[Chorus]

Am Am G G
Hold me down, hold me down
F F
Sneaking out the back door,
G G
Make no sound
Am Am G G
Knock me out, knock me out
F F G G
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

Am Am G G
Hold me down, hold me down
F F G G
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Am Am G G
Knock me out, knock me out
F F G G
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for


[Verse]

Am Am G G F F G G
I'm selfish, taking what I want and call it mine
Am Am G G F F G G
I'm helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine
Am Am G G F F G G
They rush me, telling me I'm running out of time
Am Am G G F F G G
They shush me, walking me across a fragile line


[Pre-Chorus]

Am Am G G
I sold my soul to a three-piece
F F G G Am Am
And he told me I was holy
G G
He's got me down on my knees
F F G G
But it's the devil that's tryna


[Chorus]

Am Am G G
Hold me down, hold me down
F F
Sneaking out the back door,
G G
Make no sound
Am Am G G
Knock me out, knock me out
F F G G
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

Am Am G G
Hold me down, hold me down
F F G G
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Am Am G G
Knock me out, knock me out
F F G G
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for


[Bridge]

Am Am G G F F G G
Hold me down now
Am Am G G
Hold me down now
F F G G
Hold me down now


[Pre-Chorus]

Am Am G G
I sold my soul to a three-piece
F F G G Am Am
And he told me I was holy
G G
He's got me down on my knees
F F G G
But it's the devil that's tryna


[Chorus]

Am Am G G
Hold me down, hold me down
F F
Sneaking out the back door,
G G
Make no sound
Am Am G G
Knock me out, knock me out
F F G G
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

Am Am G G
Hold me down, hold me down
F F G G
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Am Am G G
Knock me out, knock me out
F F G G
Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

About this song: Hold Me Down

Halsey explained the meaning and inspiration behind "Hold Me Down" at a live show in June of 2015:"I was meeting a bunch of mean, old men who thought they knew better than I. And I met this one guy in particular, a certain asshole who inspired this song. This song is a reminder that no matter how small you are or how small people may make you seem, you should never let anything hold you down."This song appears on Halsey's debut album Badlands, released as a pre-order single on June 2nd, 2015.
