[verse]
Em
Beneath the surface
C
Feeling nervous
A7                      C7
Straightens his tie and backs against the wall
Em
Eyes on the exits
C
Ears on the echos
A7                            C7
Of all the footsteps that are coming down the hall


[chorus]
E
Rise
              C#m
You’ll be the tide
            A
Building in waves
          F#m        B       E
Smashing against the old old stones
             C#m
Can’t stop a flood
                    A
You’ll clean it all up
        F#m      B       E
Rinsing away the ancient bones.


[verse]
Em
Can resist them
C
Start a new system
A7                       C7
Don’t care about how the way things have been down
Em
He’s feeling jilted
C
Table’s been tilted
A7                  C7
He is no longer the only golden one


[chorus]
E
Rise
              C#m
You’ll be the tide
            A
Building in waves
          F#m        B       E
Smashing against the old old stones
             C#m
Can’t stop a flood
                    A
You’ll clean it all up
        F#m      B       E
Rinsing away the ancient bones.

Em        Bbmaj7-5
They know better
A7      Am7b5
They do worse
Em        Bbmaj7-5
They know better

They do worse.
