Saves the Day
Hold
Underdog EP
Equal Vision Records
This is a great song off of Saves The Day's acoustic EP "Underdog" titled "Hold". It's
a fun and fairly simple song to play, and it has a catchy beat. Try to follow the strumming
pattorn; I think that I illustrated it fairly well. Enjoy!
Verse One {00:00- 00:26} [Single Guitar]
(Oh, well....)

| "I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place and how shitty this town would seem without you in it. " I think this lyric is my absolute favorite of STD's. I can relate in ways indescribable. I love the entire CD of "I'm Sorry I'm Leaving" and Hold is my favorite song on it. The entire Cd (particularly this song) is so raw and it brings tears to my eyes every time. | |

| I dont know if I would be alive without this song, it comforts me unbelievably. I loved this guy so much, and he basically one day told me, that he didnt want to be wiht me anymore. I think about us all the time and it's weird cause I'm used to imagining us together, just like in the song, and now I have to remind myself that he doesnt want me anymore, and that i cant ever have him hold me again..... | |

| this is my favorite std song. my boyfriend sings it to me all the time and plays it on the guitar. "I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us rolling around.." is my favorite part because we left a party once just because we felt like going outside to roll in the grass :) | |

| Definitely my favorite acoustic saves the day song, the lyrics are so adorable. My favorite line: I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us rolling around down along the ground. Nothing could be cuter. | |

| yeah it's a good place to start. just make sure you download the stuff from all of their cd's, and make sure you really listen to the lyrics. sure this song has a cute melody. but once you get to read the lyrics its really just awesome. chris is such a genius, i don't think he could have conveyed those emotions any better than he did in this song. and all of his other songs. | |

| this song to me is about a past love that was lost somewhere in time and he really wants to go back to what he had before but cant because feelings were also lost. i think this song is something that most people can relate to. | |

| this is such a great song it seems all nice and happy till the line "and i pinched my arm remembered how much you hate me" so pretty much what it is all about is chris had this girl (which he wrote the song for...a x-mas present to her) who broke his heart and he cant stop thinking about her and remembering the good times, hence "got me under your spell" but he is trying his hardest to block her out of his life, but she was so special he cant and he just needs someone to hold, comfort, and console him....wow he is frigin amazing...a genius...and my idol...WOW | |
