Hold Out Your Hand Chords & Lyrics - Brandi Carlile

Capo on 2

[VERSE 1]
I ru[E]n a lot of miles of life and [A]crime

Of mountain climbs and quittin' times
[C#m]Packing that load of lyin' rhymes
[B]And tired jokes and wooden dimes
[A]I've been everybody's [C#m]friend, everybody's [B]friend

[VERSE 2]
I could lose [E]my house, I could steal a [A]car

I could serve two masters, living hard
[C#m]Living like a dog in a cage in a yard
With a fist full of cold hard cash and I can't let [A]go
The devil can't have my [C#m]soul, the devil can't get your [B]soul
The devil can't get your [A]soul

[CHORUS]
[E]Hold out your h[A]and
Take hold of mine [C#m]now
Round and round [B]we go [E(F#)]
Don't you wanna d[A]ance

I'm a dying [C#m]man
From the moment we [B]began
Hold out your h[E]and
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da[A] da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [C#m]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [B]da

[VERSE 3]
The [E]hand comes around and the trumpet sounds
And his [A]number calls and the moment he falls
And the haunted halls of man he will [B]understand
He will compreh[A]end, he will not p[C#m]retend
He will not p[B]retend

[VERSE 4]
When the [E]rain don't fall and the [A]river don't run

And the wind takes orders from the blazing sun
[C#m]The devil don't break with a fiery snake
And you handled about goddamn much as you can [A]take
The devil don't take a [C#m]break, the devil don't take a [B]break
The devil don't take [A]no break

[CHORUS]
[E]Hold out your [A]hand
Take hold of mine [C#m]now
Round and round [B]we go [E]
Don't you wanna d[A]ance

I'm a dying [C#m]man
From the moment we [B]began
Hold out your h[E]and
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [A]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [C#m]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [B]da

[BRIDGE]
[E]Well he came to my door to sell me the fear

With some cameras and bullets and tension and
[C#m]Here is a license for killing your own native son
For a careless mistake and a fake plastic g[A]un?
([C#m]Come on!) [B] [A] [B]

[E]Deliver your brother from violence and greed
For the [A]mountains, lay down for your faith like a seed
A [C#m]morning is coming of silver and light
There will be color and language and nobody wanting to [A]fight
What a glorious [C#m]sight!
What a glorious [B]sight!
[E]Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [A]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [C#m]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [B]da

[CHORUS]
[E]Hold out your [A]hand
Take hold of mine [C#m]now
Round and round [B]we go [E]
Don't you wanna d[A]ance

I'm a dying [C#m]man
From the moment we [B]began
Hold out your h[E]and
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [A]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da[C#m] da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [B]da

[E]
