Intro: E Am E B7
You keep comi[E]ng up
With new[Am] ways to say goodb[E]ye
[B7]Like our love's a cage [Am]
That will not [E]let you fly
[B7]You always know just what to [Am]say
And ma[E]ybe th[F#m]at's why[Am]
You keep coming[E] up
With new [B7]words to make me cr[E]y
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
I'm gonna rise, [F#m]I'm gonna rise[E]
I'm gonna take t[F#]o the sky on this crazy cloud of mine[B7]
I'll get by[F#m], I'll get b[E]y
I'm gonna darken[F#m] your days by putting the grays in your skies[B7]
And I'll keep coming up
In all the shadows of your mind
A not so distant memory
From another time
[F#m]Forever the thorn in your side[E-F#m-Am]
I'll be the echo[E]
That yo[B7]u can never find[E]
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
And you'll [E]never find
Anot[Am]her way to say goo[E]dbye
[B7]I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise[E]
