[Verse 1]
G#m         F#
 Are you the water?
               E      B
 Are you the wave?
G#m       F#             E
 Will you save the others left out to die?
G#m           F#             E                 B
 The earthquake hit and I was states away from it
              G#m         F#                       E
 Set in stone, a damaged home can’t bring me down

 I won’t fade away
G#m  F#  E         B
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own)
G#m  F#  E
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own)
G#m     F#              E      B
 Eye to eye, strong and safe
G#m           F#             E
 I fight like Zeus in the rain
G#m           F#             E                 B
 We carved our names in the house my father made
              G#m         F#              E
 Fly like Icarus, ‘til the day I hit my grave


[Chorus]
            G#m          F#
 I will not fall far behind
              E               B
 I’ll live a story that they tell by firesides
G#m      F#                    E
 Nothing crazy, but It’s my life
          G#m              F#
 But fires die and so will I
                E               B
 The wind will pick up where it left off
            G#m              F#            E
 The way we're made we were built to fade away

 But the pyramids won’t change


[Post-Chorus]
G#m  F#  E         B
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own) The pyramids won’t change
G#m  F#  E
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own) The pyramids won’t change
G#m  F#  E         B
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own) The pyramids won’t change
G#m  F#  E
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own)

G#m  F#  E


[Bridge]
G#m           F#             E                 B
 So these moments drift away
G#m           F#             E
 With every life we tried to change
G#m           F#           E                 B
 And all the difference we made
G#m         F#             E
 The reason why it still remains


[Chorus]
            G#m          F#
 I will not fall far behind
              E               B
 I’ll live a story that they tell by firesides
G#m      F#                    E
 Nothing crazy, but It’s my life
          G#m              F#
 But fires die and so will I
                E               B
 The wind will pick up where it left off
            G#m              F#            E
 The way we're made we were built to fade away

 But the pyramids won’t change

[Post-Chorus]
G#m  F#  E         B
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own) The pyramids won’t change
G#m  F#  E
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own) The pyramids won’t change
G#m  F#  E         B
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own) The pyramids won’t change
G#m  F#  E
 Ooh Ooh (Hold my own)


[Chorus]
            G#m          F#
 I will not fall far behind
              E               B
 I’ll live a story that they tell by firesides
G#m      F#                    E
 Nothing crazy, but It’s my life
          G#m              F#
 But fires die and so will I
                E               B
 The wind will pick up where it left off
            G#m              F#            E
 The way we're made we were built to fade away

 But the pyramids won’t change
