I Rise

 Am                           
(Us kids don't know what we're 
         C
talking about,
                        G
that we're too young to understand 
how the government works)
Am        C       G
  (We call BS)


[Pre-Chorus]
          Am                       
I'm going through it, yeah, I know 
            C
you see the tragic in it
     G
Just hold on to the little bit of 
magic in it
Am                 C
I can't break down now
G
I can't take that now

F               G
Died a thousand times
Am            C
Managed to survive
F                  G

[Verse 1]
        Am                      
There's nothing you can do to me 
      C
that hasn't been done
G
  Not bulletproof, shouldn't have to
 run from a gun
Am                   C
  River of tears ran dry, let 'em 
run
Continues after the ad
G                                
N.C.
  No game that you can play with me 
I ain't won


[Pre-Chorus]

Freedom's what you choose to do 
   C
with what's been done to you
G
  No one can hurt you now unless you
 want them to (unless you want)
Am                          C
  No one can hurt you now unless you
 love 'em too (BS!)
G
   Unless you love 'em too
