Rise

Tom: C

C          D            Em   D
today i'll crawl out of bed
C       D
i can't stand
     Em            D        C
your shadow is too heavy to lift
            D        Em   D
maybe we'll go for a ride
C              D          Em
you said you'd take me nowhere
            D             C
i said that suits me just fine 
            D           Em    D
know you've always been near
C          D         Em              D        C
whispering secrets i know i'm not supposed to hear
          D              Em    D
hold your heart with two hands
C          D  Em      D      G
give it to me only to disappear

G            D
and look how low i've sunk
                Em
don't ask me to rise
                        C
i'll lose you when i am high
G            D
hey look how low i've sunk
                Em
don't ask me to rise
                        C     Em
i'll only lose you when i'm high

C    D           Em    D 
all alone in the dark
C       D     Em        D       C
love survives only when we are apart
            D            Em    D
voice still sounds in my ears
C      D             Em               D          G
soft explosions that blossom with the beat of my heart

(chorus)

G            D
hey look how low i've sunk
                Em
don't ask me to rise
                     C    Em   C   end on Em
i lost you when i was high.
