3:31 - Time the song starts

Intro:
E  C#m  E  C#m B

Verse 1:
E           C#m
A young man wise to the bone
E                                   C#m
From a youthless man who'??s walked a lonely road
    E                   C#m
And no fear of thinking up his dreams
  E                                 C#m
He holds himself together with these barbed wire gates

Pre:
C#m              E
Alone we stand together, we fall
      F#m        A             B
Just know that belief conquers all


Chorus:
   E                         C#m
So don'??t let people hold you back
     A               E
Gotta stand tall and aim higher
                C#m      A
Don't touch the barbed wire
   E                         C#m
So don'??t let people hold you back
     A               E
Gotta stand tall and aim higher
                C#m      A                   E           C#m A
Don't touch the barbed wire, don't touch the barbed wire


Verse 2:
E                         C#m
And watch him grow into a shell of a man
E                              C#m
Every thing is taking shape and going to plan
E                   C#m
How quickly though, Life can turn around
E                 F#m
One step forward, two steps back
     C#m          A
He'??s lost in the crowd


Pre:
C#m              E
Alone we stand together, we fall
      F#m        A             B
Just know that belief conquers all


Chorus:
   E                         C#m
So don'??t let people hold you back
     A               E
Gotta stand tall and aim higher
                C#m      A
Don't touch the barbed wire
   E                         C#m
So don'??t let people hold you back
     A               E
Gotta stand tall and aim higher
                C#m      A                   E           C#m
Don't touch the barbed wire, don't touch the barbed wire


Bridge:
E                       C#m
 If you walk in your shadow
                          E
Led by shepards then you know
                        C#m
If you walk in your shadow
E                       C#m
 If you walk in your shadow
                          E
Led by shepards then you know
                       F#m
If you walk in your shadow


Chorus]
   E                         C#m
So don'??t let people hold you back
     A               E
Gotta stand tall and aim higher
                C#m      A
Don't touch the barbed wire
   E                         C#m
So don'??t let people hold you back
     A               E
Gotta stand tall and aim higher
                C#m      A                   E           C#m A
Don't touch the barbed wire, don't touch the barbed wire

Don't touch the barbed wire, don't touch the barbed wire

Don't touch the barbed wire
