Intro: E Am E B7
E
You keep coming up
Am E
With new ways to say goodbye
B7 Am
Like our love's a cage
E
That will not let you fly
B7 Am
You always know just what to say
E F#m Am
And maybe that's why
E
You keep coming up
B7 E
With new words to make me cry
You keep coming up
With new ways to let me down
You say it's a shame
I'll always wear a frown
You say I can't be happy
Always feeling like a clown
But I'll play the fool
As long as you can hang around
F#m E
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
F# B7
I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine
F#m E
I'll get by, I'll get by
F#m B7
I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies
And I'll keep coming up
In all the shadows of your mind
A not so distant memory
From another time
F#m E-F#m-Am
Forever the thorn in your side
E
I'll be the echo
B7 E
That you can never find
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine
I'll get by, I'll get by
I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies
E
And you'll never find
Am E
Another way to say goodbye
B7 E
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
