Capo on 3rd fret
               
 
Intro: | G | 
 
 
Verse 1: 
          G 
I've been staring at the coastline 
            Em7 
Thinking of every choice I've made 
                      Csus2 
To lead me here right now 
                  Dsus4  D 
Standing on solid ground 
              G 
And I've been hiding in the shadows 
             Em7 
Wondering if I'm on the right road 
                      Csus2 
Some place I've never been 
                     Dsus4 D 
Is this how it all begins? 
 
 
Pre-Chorus
Oh-oh 
       G 
'Cause I've got my best suit on and I'm ready 
Em7                                             Csus2 
I've got my sleeves rolled up and I'll be on my way 
                 Dsus4                     D 
While my heart's thumping, boom-boom, boom-boom 
 
 
                    G    Em7 
You're gonna see me ri___se 
        Csus2       Dsus4 D 
Oh, and rise, rise, rise, rise 
 
 
Verse 2:
          G 
For every valley, there's a mountain 
          Em7 
For every answer, there's a new question 
                Csus2 
Is it worth all this? 
                          Dsus4 D 
I'm pushing myself to the edge 
                 G 
'Cause we're all looking for a reason 
       Em7 
Find a shelter from the storm within 
                     Csus2 
Just keep your eyes ahead 
                       Dsus4 D 
And dust yourself off again 
 
 
Pre-Chorus
Oh-oh, oh 
       G 
'Cause I've got my best suit on and I'm ready 
Em7                                             Csus2 
I've got my sleeves rolled up and I'll be on my way 
                 Dsus4                     D 
While my heart's thumping, boom-boom, boom-boom 
 
 
 
                    G    Em7 
You're gonna see me ri___se 
        Csus2       Dsus4 D 
Oh, and rise, rise, rise, rise 
 
 
Pre-Chorus
           G 
Oh, 'cause I've got my best suit on and I'm ready 
Em7                                             Csus2 
I've got my sleeves rolled up and I'll be on my way 
                 D                         Dsus4 
While my heart's thumping, boom-boom, boom-boom

You're gonna see me rise 
            D/F#      G 
Not how you fall back down

But how you get back up 
                   Dsus4  D 
Before you hit the ground

You're gonna see me rise
