Rise Above

[Intro] (F, Bb, Dm, Bb)

[Verse 1]
F
Too much time we let pass by
Bb
Broken dreams and idle lives
Dm                      Bb
Waiting on the way it ought to be

[Verse 2]
F
Pushing forward, falling back
Bb
Counting scars and losing track
Dm                                      C
Afraid to crash we never spread our wings

[Pre Chorus]
Bb                                      Dm
And with every chance we take we find a reason
Bb                                 C
To give up on the hope that we all need

[Chorus]
F                               C
Maybe today we all will rise
Dm                              Bb
Maybe today we all will rise above
             F
The mistakes that we've made
C                                   Dm
Sometimes we've got to face the fall
        Bb           F    Bb   Dm   Bb
Before we rise above it all


[Verse 3]
F
Can't give up on second tries
Bb
Leave the pride that blinds our eyes
Dm                             Bb
No one taught us how to say goodbye

[Verse 4]
F
Now's the time for broken hearts
Bb
Embrace today a brand new start
Dm                                C
Leave the past and let love lead the way

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                                      Dm
And with every chance we take we find a reason
Bb                              C
To give up on the hope that we all need

[Chorus x2]

[Bridge]
     Gm                   Bb
If we just lived like we mean it
         Dm                       C
If we loved even when we don't feel it
         Gm             Bb
We would suffer for a reason
                  F              C
And see there is more to who we are
