Don't Let Her Love Hold You Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]He says "give it a rest, woman
And put down your smokes
Now, there's no need to curse
Don't let anymore words
through your [Bb]throat[D]
Inhale with me, try to keep yourself still
You know the air will seem colder
until you get over this hill"
And for his sake, I hope that she will
He says "you're working
harder than I ever have seen
To fix up your act and to clamber
right back on that
Horse that you fell of when
you [Bb]were fourteen
[D]And so I'm here if you need
Won't you settle on down?"
And then he hangs up the phone
Letting his voice change it's tone
Wipes his brow
"She's all [Bb]good for now"

[Verse 2]
And though [Em]time is your friend
It runs [D]out at the [G]end of [D]the line
You might say that you're fine
But don't you know
Brother, the world is your oyster
So open your window and blink in the light
And turn away from the fight
You see, since he grew stubble
He's in a drunk state of mind all the time
Well honey, I met him sober
With hair down to his shoulder
And he couldn't even see
through his [Bb]naked eye
[D]However, wait 'til you see
Him with a paper and pen
For, his words find a rhythm
And he puts a tune with them
And he kind of starts looking
like a [Bb]free man again
And [D]since [Em]I am your fr[D]iend
[Em]I refuse[D] to pret[G]end
that I don't [D]mind
How could you be so blind?
When you know
Brother, the world is your oyster
So open your window and blink
in the [Bb]light[D]
Brother, if only [A]your choice [D]were
To climb into my skin and see
yourself through my eyes
So for now, some advice
You [G]don't [D]know the places
[G]you [D]could go
Don't let her love hold you down
You [Em]don't [D]know the
places [G]you [D]will go
Don't let her love hold you down
Brother, the world is your oyster
So open your window and blink
in the [Bb]light[D]
Brother, if only your choice were
To climb into my skin and see
yourself through my eyes
'Cause you're wrapped round [Em]her finger
[D]So incredibly tig[G]ht
So turn away from the fight
