Intro: G, Csus2, C x2
A disappointment falls through my arms
I take a minute to lose my charm
And I wait by the lines of no light
Sinking into no such paradise
And everybody's seeing grey lights losing their shine
Pushing forward, holding my time
And I stand, hold the fort, mount my throne
It's like waking up wearing the same clothes
Wearing the same clothes
So would you please, please move your things
'We're gonna hold you down' they sing
Would you please, please move your things
Said the keepers, the keepers of my strings
I saw the bows bounce of my chest
They're writing headlines of peaceful unrest
And will I ever see the masterpiece on show
It's like waking up wearing the same clothes
Wearing the same clothes
And would you please, please move your things
'We're gonna hold you down' they sing
So would you please, please move those things
Said the keepers, the keepers of my
For crying out loud
I'm breaking down boundaries
And I'm finding out
How many times will it be
That I fall
Down and out
And could you please, please move your things
'We're gonna hold you down' they sing
So would you please, please move those things
Said the keepers of my
Please, please move your things
'We're gonna hold you down' they sing
So would you please, please move those things
Said the keepers
Said the keepers
Of my strings
us2
Ain't no keepers
Pulling on my strings
