[Intro]
C#m G#7 E G#7 Aadd9 C#m G#7
[Verse] 1
C#m G#7
Well, I was there when you were torn apart;
E G#7
and now a piece of you is gone.
Aadd9 C#m
Somehow, you wish that you could only find
G#7
a little strength to carry on.
C#m G#7
You've tried so hard to make it on your own
E G#7
that your heart has come undone.
Aadd9 E
So I am here to prove that I alone
B
have the power to overcome.
[Chorus]
Aadd9 B
Don't let your heart be troubled;
E A C#m
this world will never keep you down,
B Asus2
it will never keep you down.
E B
So rise up, my friend.
C#m Asus2
No, this will never be the end.
E B
So rise up, my friend,
E/A
and live again.
[Verse] 2
C#m G#7
I didn't want you to feel this way;
E G#7
it's not what life was meant to be.
Aadd9 C#m
And so for you, my friend, I'll take your shame;
G#7
you can give it all to me.
C#m G#7
Be-cause you've wrestled demons ev'ry day
E G#7
and they've dragged you to your knees.
Aadd9 E
But in your weakness, you will learn to find
B
that I will always be your strength.
[Chorus]
Aadd9 B
Don't let your heart be troubled;
E A C#m
this world will never keep you down,
B Asus2
it will never keep you down.
E B
So rise up, my friend.
C#m Asus2
No, this will never be the end.
E B
So rise up, my friend,
E/A
and live again.
C#m E G#7
C#5 B/D#
In life or in death,
E
through joy or regret,
G#7 A5
and all of the secret things you have done,
B5
no matter what comes, my friend,
G#7 Asus2
nothing can keep you from the love of God.

so rise up my friends,
E/A
and live again.
