Head On
The whole song is mostly just A, Cm, Fm, E repeated -
A Cm
there's a knock at your door
Fm E
you don't even recognize the stranger
it's you from before
tryin' to warn you all about the dangers
there's a hole in your head
at least that's what everybody's guessin'
it's why you're always misread
it's why you sleep but you never feel rested, you never get your rest in
hold on to your heart
hold it high above flood waters
hold on to your heart
never let nobody drag it under
hold on to your heart
even when your body's bitter
hold onto your heart
never let nobody take it over
ever take it over, ever take it over from you
there's a call on the phone
you don't even recognize the number
it's an old episode
of tryin' to put the lightnin' on the monster
of the live you have lived that is always a mess
are you dreaming of death are there ghosts in your chests
are you always so restless
yes you are, is that hard?
hold on to your heart
hold it high above flood waters
hold on to your heart
never let nobody drag it under
hold on to your heart
even when your body's bitter
hold onto your heart
never let nobody take it over
ever take it over, ever take it over from you
[instrumental break]
is it all a game of bait and switch your brains and follow your leaders to hell
is it all the same vein of insane as drinkin' from a poisoned well
and I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine
'cause this one that I'm in's let me down once again over time
and I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine
'cause this one that I'm in's let me down once again over time
hold on to your heart
hold it high above flood waters
hold on to your heart
never let nobody drag it under
hold on to your heart
even when the whole world's bitter
hold onto your heart
never let nobody take it over
ever take it over, ever take it over,
ever take it over, ever take it over,
ever take it over, ever take it over from you

version 2
Chord progression is very basic and stays consistent throughout the song.
You can play the bass notes and drop them down easily also, sort of like this:
G F#/G Em D(riff)
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------2-------------------|
D|--------0------------2-----0-2-4---------------------|
A|--------2------2-----2-------------------------------|
E|--------3------2-----0-------------------------------|
or do whatever you like to incorporate the riffs and bass parts in.
Anyways, main chords are:
G Bm Em D (repeat)
There's a knock at your door
You don't even recognize the stranger
It's you from before
Trying to warn you all about the dangers
There's a hole in your head
At least that's what everybody's guessing
It's why you're always misread
It's why you sleep but you never feel rested
You never get your rest in
Hold onto your heart
Hold it high above flood waters
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody drag it under
Hold onto your heart
Even when your body's bitter
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody take it over
Ever it take it over
Ever it take it over from you
There's a call on the phone
You don't even recognize the number
It's an old episode
Of trying to put the lightening on the monster
Of the life you have led
That is always a mess
Are you dreaming of death?
Are there ghosts in your chest?
Are you always so restless?
Yes you are
Is that hard?
Hold onto your heart
Hold it high above flood waters
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody drag it under
Hold onto your heart
Even when your body's bitter
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody take it over
Ever it take it over
Ever it take it over from you
Is it all a game of bait and switch your brains
And follow your leaders to hell
Is it all the same vein of insane
As drinking from a poisoned well
And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine
Cause this one that I'm in has let me down once again over time
And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine
Cause this one that I'm in has let me down once again over time
Hold onto your heart
Hold it high above flood waters
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody drag it under
Hold onto your heart
Even when the whole world's bitter
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody take it over
Ever it take it over
Ever it take it over...
Ever it take it over from yo

version 3
All major chords except for G minor, just follow along for the rhythm. The chord
progression hardly ever changes besides at the end of the verses and choruses they
go between D# and C#.
G# Gm
There's a knock at the door
F D#
You don't even recognize the stranger
..etc. Its the same throughout.
The first verse they rest on D#.
The refrain/bridge/whatever you want to call it goes
D#
Ever take it over
C#
Ever take it over
...repeat.
