Rise Above It
Intro: C#5 C#5 C#5 C#sus4 (x6)
Verse 1:
C#5 C#sus4
Another couple kids with their heads on top
C#5 C#sus4
Just another stranger just another plot
B5 Bsus4
Another track home where the city streets stop
C#5 C#sus4
Just another kid with another bored cop

C#5 C#sus4
Just another lemon into lemonade job
C#5 C#sus4
Just another rust and dust facade
C#5 C#sus4
Just another key stuck broken in the lock

Just another scarecrow choking on a cough
Oh come on!
Chorus 1:
E
It all feels so typical
B
Guess I'm looking for a miracle

Rise above it, rise above it

I don't care what they're telling me
B
We could be what we want to be
C#m
Rise above it, rise above it

Listen up loud listen up listen here
C#5 C#sus4
Just because you're running doesn't mean that you're scared

Never let another tell your soul what to fear
Verse 4:
C#5 C#sus4
Here we go again give it one more try
C#5 C#sus4
Don't believe the system's on your side

Just another lover turned enemy fight

Just another blood and nicotine sky
Oh come on!

Like dead men
Coming back to life

We are rising, rising

At different parts in the song, It Proves Easier to play the Chord fill on
The E String root, and at other parts its easier to play the fill on the A
String Root. This is Only If you are playing it by yourself, If you're in a
band Guitar 2 covers the chord fill while Guitar 1 Plays the pre Verse.
