Verse 1
C G
When you see the road ahead
Em D
that you've been down before
C G
When you're half way to no where
Em D
and you can't pay the toll
Cont.
C G Em D
You're hanging onto mercy
withered on the vine
With your feet on the ground, your head in the clouds
and your heart on the line
Pre-Chorus
A C
Open up your eyes
Chorus
C C G G
You've got to rise up (rise up)
Em D
when this life has got you down
C C G G
You've got to look up (look up)
Em D
when you search & nothings found
C G Em D
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the love that's here and now
C C G G
It's coming down
Em Em D D
So rise up now.
Verse 2
Main progression
C G Em D
(IV, I, vi, V)
When your told that day is over (IV > I)
long after the sun goes down (vi > V)
And your mind it keeps on racing (IV > I)
at the dreams that don't come 'round (vi > V)
When you don't know how to surrender (IV > I)
'Cause your whole life's been a fight (vi > V)
When the dark holds you and you can't break through (IV > I)
cause you haven't seen the light. (vi > V)
Open up your eyes…
Bridge:
C G
And all the lambs roar like lions
Em D
And all the prisoners breaking their chains
C G
And all the poor find their treasure
Em D
Cause heaven is coming this way. x2
