C            G G7
In my fantasy
 C                   G G7
You were there with me
 C                     G                           C  G  G7
I turned towards the mirror and there's nothing there
 C              G G7
I sit in a chair
 C                 G G7
Washing my underwear
  C              G                       C G G7
Thinking all along you were of good cheer

[Chorus]

    F      G        C       C7
And I am going to try to love
   F       G        C   C7
And I am going to rise above

[Verse 2]

C                G G7
So begins the star
C                         G G7
There's a spark in my heart
C                      G               C G G7
But you just stayed away from my memory
C                    G G7
I try to get it right
C             G G7
Lay down a song
C                       G               C G G7
But there's something wrong with my song

[Chorus]

    F      G        C       C7
And I am going to try to love
   F       G        C   C7
And I am going to rise above

[Verse 3]

C                 G G7
Baby you're the one
C                G G7
Same as any other
C               G                       C G
And I really tried, but I've been denied
C               G G7
Crazy as it seems
C                      G   G7
In the hall of broken dreams
C                      G                        C G G7
Till there's nothing left, but an empty eggshell

[Chorus]

    F      G        C       C7
And I am going to try to love
   F       G        C   C7
And I am going to rise above

[Verse 4]

C                 G G7
Saw you in my movie
C                   G G7
Like you really cared
C                       G                            C G G7
I turned towards the mirror, and there's nothing there
C                 G G7
You were on my mind
C               G G7
I tried to unwind
C                  G                C G G7
To a better atmosphere of good cheer

[Chorus]

    F      G        C       C7
And I am going to try to love
   F       G        C   C7
And I am going to rise above
    F      G        C       C7
And I am going to try to love
   F       G        C   C7
And I am going to rise above
