SKILLET - RISE (FULL ALBUM CHORD SHEET)
1. RISE:
Key -
All I see is shattered pieces.
I can't keep it hidden like a secret.
(Jen: I can't look away)
From all this pain in the world we've made.
Every day you need a bulletproof vest
To save yourself from what you could never guess.
(Jen: I safe today?)
When I step outside in the wars we wage?
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown.
Sound it off, this is our call!
Rise and revolution!
It's our time to change it all!
Rise and revolution!
Unite and fight!
To make a better life.
Everybody, one for all
Sound off, this is the call!
Tonight we rise! Rise!
Tonight we rise! Rise
Tonight we rise!
Like a hand grenade, thrown in a hurricane
Spinning in chaos, trying to escape the flame.
Yesterday is gone
Faster than the blast of a car bomb.
And when the scars heal, the pain passes,
As hope burns we rise from the ashes.
Darkness fades away
And the light shines on a brave new day.
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown.
Sound it off, this is our call!
Rise and revolution!
It's our time to change it all!
Rise and revolution!
Unite and fight!
To make a better life.
Everybody, one for all
Sound off, this is the call!
Tonight we rise! Rise!
Tonight we rise! Rise
Tonight we rise!
In a world gone mad (in a voice so sad)
Sometimes it's crazy (crazy)
To fight for what you believe,
But you can't give up (No)
If you want to keep what you love,
Keep what you love, Keep what you love, Keep what you love
Keep what you love.
Never give up! No!
Rise! Rise and revolution!
Rise! Rise and revolution!
Everybody, one for all
Sound off, this is the call!
Rise! Like we're alive.
Tonight we rise!
Rise! Make a better life.
Tonight we rise!
Rise! Rise! Rise and revolution!
Rise! Rise! Rise and revolution!
Rise!
2. SICK OF IT:
Key -
When everything you do
Don't seem to matter
You try but it's no use
Your World is getting blacker
When every time you fail
Has no answer
Every empty promise made
Is a reminder
No one can make this better
Take control it's now or never!!!
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands - get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance...
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick of
If you're sick of
If you're sick of
If you' re sick of it!
If you're sick of
If you' re sick
If you're sick of it
Every single day
I chase my own tale
Like a rat inside a maze
Gotta gotta gotta get away
I'm running out of time
For me to break this
I'm tired of feeling like
I never gonna make this
No one can make this better
Take control it's now or never!!!
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands - get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance...
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick of
If you're sick of
If you're sick of
If you' re sick of it!
If you're sick of
If you' re sick

3. GOOD TO BE ALIVE
Key -
When all you've got are broken dreams
Just need a second chance
And everything you want to be
Gets taken from your hands
We hold on to each other
All we have is all we need
Cause one way or another
We always make it, you and me
This life can almost kill you
When you're trying to survive
It's good to be here with ya
And it's good to be alive
Is's good to be alive
I was lost and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
It's a beautiful night
It's good to be alive
(it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive)
It's good to be alive
(it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive)
Driving down this highway
Soaking up the sun
Got miles to go before we get home
And the journey's just begun
We hold on to each other
You are everything I need
You feel like forever
You're a second chance for me
This life can almost kill you
When you're trying to survive
It's good to be here with ya
And it's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
I was lost and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
It's a beautiful night
It's good to be alive
It's a beautiful night
Yeah, it's alright
It's good to be alive
This life can almost kill you
When you're trying to survive
It's good to be alive
(it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive)
Is's good to be alive
(it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive)
And it's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
I was lost and I was gone
I was almost dead inside
You and me against the world
It's a beautiful night
It's good to be alive
It's a beautiful night
Yeah, it's alright
It's good to be alive
INTERLUDE:
Despair you come to me, with your poison and your misery
Oh death you come to sting with your poison and your misery
Death surrounds me singing to me softly
While the shadows spread their wings around me
In the night, don't close your eyes
It's what you believe in
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
(This is how it feels when you're dignity's stolen)
In the night don't close your eyes
It's what you believe in
I can feel the shadow creeping in my mind
Don't close your eyes
4. NOT GONNA DIE:
Key -
Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up or refuse
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when you're dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in
Pre-[Chorus]
The last thing I heard
Was you whispering goodbye
and then I heard you flatline
No!
Not Gonna Die tonight!
We're gonna stand and fight forever!
(don't close your eyes)
No!
Not Gonna Die tonight!
We're gonna fight for us together!
No we're Not Gonna Die tonight!
Break, their hold
'Cause I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me, I push harder
What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger
Pre-[Chorus]
The last thing I heard
Was you whispering goodbye
and then I heard you flatline
No!
Not Gonna Die tonight!
We're gonna stand and fight forever!
(don't close your eyes)
No!
Not Gonna Die tonight!
We're gonna fight for us together!
No we're Not Gonna Die tonight!
Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you. fight. back!

5. CIRCUS FOR PSYCHO:
Key -
(x4)
You push me 'til I break
And the anger turns to rage
Why can't you just leave me alone?
You've got your finger on the trigger
And you think that you're the winner
But you're gonna get kicked, off of your throne now
You think you're gonna hurt me
Get ready to get dirty
You created this beast inside
Pull the noose tighter,
And lift a little higher
'Cause you're killing me slow, but I aint ready to die
(Killing me slow, but I aint ready to die!)
Tonight, get ready for a fight
So now you know it's time to ride
The circus for a psycho
Round and round we go
Look out below, 'cause I
Want off this, I want off this...
Circus for a psycho! (Psycho! Go go go!)
Circus for a psycho! (Psycho! Here we go!)
Everybody down,
Gonna burn it to the ground
Can't keep this beast inside?
Never again, never again
You're killing me slow, I aint ready to die
Killing me slow, but I aint ready to die!
Tonight, get ready for a fight
So now you know it's time to ride
The circus for a psycho
Round and round we go
Look out below, 'cause I
Want off this, I want off this...
Circus for a psycho! (Psycho! Go go go!)
Circus for a psycho! (Psycho! Here we go!)
*solo* (approximately)
You think you're gonna hurt me
Get ready to get dirty
Gonna burn this place to the ground!
Tonight, get ready for a fight
So now you know it's time to ride
The circus for a psycho
Round and round we go
Look out below, it's time to ride
The circus for a psycho
Never again, never again
You're killing me slow, I aint ready to die
Round and round we go
Look out below, 'cause I
Want off this, I want off this...
Circus for a psycho! (Psycho! Go go go!)
Circus for a psycho! (Psycho! Here we go!)
Circus for a psycho!
Circus for a psycho! (Psycho! Here we go!)
6. AMERICAN NOISE:
Key -
Angry words and honking cars Satellites and falling stars
Distant dark, blue radios that whisper down my boulevard
Ghosts in chains rattle in the attic Broken headphones filled with static
Lonely room, you've got nowhere to run
Three, two, one for all and all for one
Times will be bad, times will be good
Things I wish I hadn't done somehow wish I would
Cutting through the American noise
You've got a voice and a song to sing
(And a song to sing)
Drink deep in the morning Drink deep in the morning
See what the day will bring
la la la la Lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise
la la la la Lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise
Slamming doors and cellphone rings Hurricane force of silent screams
Don't know what to believe
Bend the rule just to break it You're so tired because you got to fake it
You just want to be someone
Three, two, one for all and all for one
[Pre-Chorus] and [Chorus]
No matter who you are you've got a voice Why don't you use it
Sing your own song Take all the noise And make it into music
1st time just la la la
la la la la Lift up your voice
Let love cut through the American noise
la la la la You have a choice
Let love cut through the American noise
Ending:
You've Gotta Voice let love cut through the American Noise
7. MADNESS IN ME:
Key -
Just one spark
Is all it takes
I tried so hard
But it all goes up in flames
This is not the way that I thought
I would turn out to be
Tried to give but all that I got
Was more insanity
Broken everything that I've touched
It's gone against me
I can't get away
From the fire
That burns inside, consuming
I fight to stay alive
But I can't breathe
The voices scream The enemy
Takes over everything
This is the madness in me
Just one chance
Is all it takes
Can't change the past
But I can fight to change today
This is not the way that I thought
I would turn out to be
Tried to give but all that I got
Was more insanity
Broken everything that I've touched
It's gone against me
Got to get away
From the fire
That burns inside, consuming
I fight to stay alive
But I can't breathe
The voices scream, The enemy
Takes over everything
This is the madness in me
Just one spark
Is all it takes
[Chorus] (2x)
From the fire
That burns inside, consuming
I fight to stay alive
But I can't breathe
The voices scream The enemy
Takes over everything
This is the madness in me
The madness in me
This is the madness in me
The madness in me

Who's gonna save us all
Nothing and nobody but you
Who's gonna make me whole
Nothing and nobody but you
Can't change me, sway me, Don't know what to make of me
You got my devotion fanatical though it may be
I love your mind, heart, body and soul
You're the only sanctuary that I know

Ain't they're business what I want to believe you

11. HARD TO FIND:
Key -
Turned on the TV yesterday
So much pain bleeding through I had to look away
But inside me the picture's just the same
And every time I open up my eyes nothing seems to change
It never seems to change
You give me faith
To believe there's a way
To put the past finally behind me
and hope to make it through another night
You give me strength
During these dark times when I'm blind
You are my light
When faith is hard to find
When faith is hard to find
Something woke me in the night
In the midst of the darkness I recognized the light
Now inside me the picture seems so clear
Roll the die and my broken dreams are starting to appear
Are starting to appear
You give me faith
To believe there's a way
To put the past finally behind me
and hope to make it through another night
You give me strength
During these dark times when I'm blind
You are my light
When faith is hard to find
When faith is hard to find
When I fall, can you hold on to me
Give it all, promise you won't lose me
These days, hope is hard to come by
And tonight, I don't know I can survive
You give me faith
To believe there's a way
To put the past finally behind me
and hope to make it through another night
You give me strength
During these dark times when I'm blind
You are my light
When faith is hard to find
When faith is hard to find
You give me faith
To believe there's a way
To put the past finally behind me
and hope to make it through another night
You give me strength
During these dark times when I'm blind
You are my light
When faith is hard to find
12. What I Believe:
Key -
The world around me Is lost in misery
(*)
The only good I've got in my life is you
No meaning, no other reason
When everything feels wrong I feel right with you
So madly, desperate, deeply,
obsessed your love is better than life to me
Can I have this moment forever?
Take me to the beginning
You are what I believe
I'll live and die for you
This is all that I need
When nothing is real you are my truth
In the darkness you shine
Can you keep me safe tonight?
When I'm down on my knees
You are what I believe
When we started, wholehearted
I never needed anything or anyone else
I was broken, you made me whole again
The only one I trusted more than myself
So madly, desperate, deeply,
I will live for you completely
Can I have this moment forever?
Take me to the beginning
You are what I believe
I'll live and die for you
This is all that I need
When nothing is real you are my truth
In the darkness you shine
Can you keep me safe tonight?
When I'm down on my knees
You are what I believe
Believe in your love
Believe in your life
Believe that you can put me back together on the inside
Chase all the fear away
Every time I speak your name
Take me
You are what I believe
You are what I believe
I'll live and die for you
This is all that I need
When nothing is real you are my truth
In the darkness you shine
Can you keep me safe tonight?
When I'm down on my knees
You are what I believe
13. BATTLE CRY:
Key -
You're on the edge of givin' up
You know I feel it too
You won't be alone because
I'm with you
Bring the fire, Bring the smoke, Bring the rain
We will bend, but we will never break
If we believe, we can't lose
Even mountains will move
It's my faith, it's my life
This is our battle cry
They can't take us down
If we stand our ground
If we live, if we die,
We will shout out,
Our battle cry
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Can you hear it?
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Can you feel it?
It seems like no one knows
How you've been feeling
Been hiding all your hopes
You stop believing
It's not over, it won't stay away
We will bend, but we will never break
I believe, we can't lose
Even mountains will move
It's my faith, it's my life
This is our battle cry
They can't take us down
If we stand our ground
If we live, if we die,
We will shout out,
Our battle cry
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Can you hear it?
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Can you feel it?
Let it rise
Like a prayer in the night
Shout for love!
Shout for hope!
Let them hear us!
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
I believe, we can't lose
Even mountains will move
It's our faith, it's our life
This is our battle cry
They can't take us down
If we stand our ground
If we live, if we die,
We will shout out,
Our battle cry
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Can you hear it? (I can feel it)
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Can you feel it? (I can feel it)
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Can you hear it? (I can feel it)
Ah oh, oh wah ah oh
Can you feel it?
14. EVERYTHING GOES BLACK
Key -
Chasin these shadows, around this darkened room
Ive layed here so long, I don't even want to move
I need a minute now, to heal
I need a minute now, to remember how to feel
*([Chorus])
Whenever youre gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever youre gone
The bleeding wont stop
It hurts til you come back
Everything Goes Black
Everything Goes Black
I reached for you and I need you to be there
All alone, chasing the shadows
I dont want the pain, but Id rather hurt than not heal
Its so hard, you've been away from here
I need a reason now, to heal (I need something, to believe in)
I need a reason now, to remember how to heal
Give me something to believe in
I still believe in you
But if you're never here, and I'm left all alone
Tell me what am I supposed to do!
