Halsey - Hold Me Down Ukulele

[Verse 1]
   Dm                        C   Bb        C
My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
  Dm
I need them
             C         Bb          C
Mechanically make the words come out
     Dm
They fight me
             C      Bb              C
Vigorous and angry, watch them pounce
      Dm
Ignite me
               C           Bb        C
Licking at the flames they bring about

[Pre Chorus 1]
Dm                   C
 I sold my soul to a three-piece
Bb        C             Dm
 And he told me I was holy
                      C
He's got me down on both knees
Bb              C
 But it's the devil that's trying to

[Chorus 1]
Dm                    C
Hold me down, hold me down
Bb                          C
Sneaking out the back door, make no sound
Dm                     C
Knock me out, knock me out
Bb
Saying that I want more
 C
This is what I live for
Dm                     C
Hold me down, hold me down
Bb                          C
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Dm                      C
Knock me out, knock me out
Bb
Saying that I want more
 C
This is what I live for

[Verse 3]
   Dm
I'm selfish
               C        Bb         C
Taking what I want and call it mine
    Dm
I'm helpless
               C     Bb         C
Clinging to a little bit of spine
      Dm
They rush me
                C      Bb         C
Telling me I'm running out of time
       Dm
They shush me (shh)
            C        Bb         C
Walking me across a fragile line

[Pre Chorus 2]
Dm                   C
 I sold my soul to a three-piece
Bb       C              Dm
 And he told me I was holy
                    C
He's got me down on my knees
Bb              C
 But it's the devil that's tryna

[Chorus 2]
Dm                     C
Hold me down, hold me down
Bb
Sneaking out the back door
C
Make no sound
Dm                      C
Knock me out, knock me out
Bb
Saying that I want more,
  C
This is what I live for
Dm                     C
Hold me down, hold me down
Bb                         C
Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Dm                     C
Knock me out, knock me out
Bb
Saying that I want more
C
This is what I live for

Dm C          Bb     C
    Hold me down, now
          Dm     C
Hold me down, now
          Dm    C
Hold me down, now
