Rise Above 2 chords

[VERSE 1]
[Gm]When the ones who run the firehouse

Are the ones who start the fire
[Bb]And the lawless make the laws

And every preacher is a liar
[Cm]When the ones who damn the innocent

Are on the nightly news and front page

[Gm]An old man said to me

It’s not who but what you know
[Bb]And knowledge isn’t wisdom

without control
[Cm]Better still to be the changes

That you want to see
[Gm]But they come slow, I know

[CHORUS]
[Gm]And you said [Bb]rise above[F]
Open your [Cm]eyes up.
[Gm]And you said [Bb]rise above[F]
I can’t, [D]I can’t

[VERSE 2]
For [Gm]every heart that bleeds
Will [Bb]colour your world red
And the [Gm]sorrow in the night
Will be the [D]blue you cannot shed
[Gm]But your strength will be a vision
[Bb]Beyond visibility
[Cm]And the gift you have within
[Gm]Will give you new eyes to see

[CHORUS]
[Gm]That you can [Bb]rise above[F]
Swing through the [Cm]skies above
[Gm]And you shall [Bb]rise above
[D]Yourself

[BRIDGE]
[Gm]Know that I’ll be [Bb]watching
[Gm]Know that I’ll be [Bb]waiting

[Peter/SM]
[Gm]Standing on the precipice
I can soar away from [Cm]this

[CHORUS]
[Gm]And you can [Bb]rise above[F]

(Free your soul)
Open your [Cm]eyes up

(Rise above yourself and take control)
[Gm]And you can [Bb]rise above

(The need to love)
[D]Yourself

(To release yourself and rise above it all)

[Gm]And you can [Bb]rise above[F]

(I will be there)
Open your [Cm]eyes up

(You were never alone)
[Gm]And you can [Bb]rise above

(Inside your dreams)
[D]Yourself

(I’ve been watching and waiting for you)

[Gm]And you can [Bb]rise above[F]
Open your [Cm]eyes to love
[Gm]And you can [Bb]rise above[F]
[D]Yourself

[VERSE 3]
And [Cm]every heart that bleeds
Will [Bb]colour your world red
And the [Cm]sorrow in the night
Will be the [Gm]blue you cannot shed
And your [Cm]strength will be a vision
[C]Beyond visibility
And the [Bb]gift you have before you
Will give you [Cm]new eyes to see
