Cant Hold Us Chords & Tabs
by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
[Intro: Macklemore]
Em
Hey, hey, hey
Good to see you
Come on, dude, let's go
C
Yeah! Let's go!
Ha-ha-ha-ha alright
Alright, okay
G
Alright, okay
Alright, okay
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
Em
Return of the Mack
Em
Get 'em, what it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't
Em
Looking for a better way to get up outta bed
C
Instead of getting on the Internet
C
And checking on who hit me, get up
G
Thrift shop, pimp-strut walkin'
C
Little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
Em
Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby
C
Sweater game, nope nope, y'all can't copy, yeah
Em
Bad, moonwalking, this here is our party
Em
My posse's been on Broadway, and we did it our way
Em
Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones
C
Into everything I record to it and yet I'm on
Em
Let that stage light go and shine on down
C
Got that Bob Barker suit game and Plinko in my style
C
Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds
Em
But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town
C
Trust me on my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit, hustlin'
C
Chasing dreams since I was fourteen
C
With the four-track, bussin'
C
Halfway cross that city with the back (back) pack (pack), fat (fat) cat (cat), crushin'
Labels out here, now they can't tell me nothin' (Hey, hey, hey)
We give that to the people, spread it across the country (Hey, hey, hey, oh)
Labels out here, now they can't tell me nothin' (Hey, hey, hey)
We give it to the people, spread it across the country (Hey, hey, hey, oh)
[Chorus: Ray Dalton]
Em
Can we go back? This is the moment
C
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
C
So we put our hands up
G
Like the ceiling can't hold us
G
Like the ceiling can't hold us
G
Can we go back? This is the moment
Em
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
Em
So we put our hands up
Em
Like the ceiling can't hold us
C
Like the ceiling can't hold us
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
C
Now, can I kick it? Thank you
C
Yeah, I'm so damn grateful
C
I grew up really wanting gold fronts
G
But that’s what you get when Wu-Tang raised you
G
Y'all can't stop me
G
Go hard like I got a 808 in my heartbeat
C
And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed
C
To a great white shark on Shark Week, raw!
Em
Time to go off, I'm gone
Em
Deuces, goodbye, I got a world to see
Em
And my girl, she wanna see Rome
G
Caesar'll make you a believer
G
Nah, I never ever did it for a throne
C
That validation comes from giving it back to the people
C
Now sing a song, and it goes like
Em
Raise those hands, this is our party (Hey, hey, hey)
Em
We came here to live life like nobody was watching (Hey, hey, hey, oh)
C
I got my city right behind me, if I fall, they got me (Hey, hey, hey)
C
Learn from that failure, gain humility (Hey, hey, hey)
G
And then we keep marching, I said
[Chorus: Ray Dalton]
G
Can we go back? This is the moment
G
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
G
So we put our hands up
C
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Em
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Em
Can we go back? This is the moment
C
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
C
So we put our hands up
C
Like the ceiling can't hold us
C
Like the ceiling can't hold us
[Interlude]
Em
And so we put our hands up
Em
And so we put our hands up
Em
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Na na na na, na na na na

[Chorus: Ray Dalton]

Can we go back? This is the moment
C
Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
G
So we put our hands up

Like the ceiling can't hold us
