Lyrics

Calm down,

deep breaths,

and get your

self dressed

in

stead

of run ning a round

and pull ing on your threads and

break ing your self up.

If it’s a bro ken part, re place it.

If it’s a bro ken arm, then brace it.

If it’s a (CN.C.)bro ken heart, then face it.

And hold your own,

know your (C6)name, and go your (Dm7)own way.

Hold your own,

know your (C6)name,

and go your (Dm7)own way,

and (F)ev

’ry (Bb)thing

will be (C)fine.

Hang on.

Help is on the way.

Stay

strong.

I’m do ing ev ’ry thing.

Hold your own, (Bb)thing,

ev ’ry (C)thing

will be (Bb)fine.

Ev ’ry thing.

Are the (F)de tails in the fab ric?

Are there (C6)things that make you pan ic?

Are your (Dm7)thoughts re sults of stat ic cling?

Are there (F)things that make you blow?

Hell, no (C6)rea son.

Go on and scream.

If you’re (Dm7)shocked, it’s just the fault of fault y (F)man u fac tur ing.

Ev ’ry (C)thing

will be (Bb)fine.

Ev ’ry (C)thing

in no time at all.

Ev ’ry (C)thing.

Hold your own,

know your name,

go your (Dm7)own way.

Hold your own,

know your name,

go your (Dm7)own way.

Hold your (F)own,

know your name,

go your (Dm7)own way.

Hold your own,

know your name,

go your (Dm7)own way.
