lyrics

I’m taking (G) back the (G) things I said to you about all (C) that,
‘Cause you don’t (A) own any (D) part of me.
Breathing (G) in, and (G) letting out my tears that I’ve kept (C) since
You (A) made me your (D) travesty.
They’re all (G) lies. (G) Even if the stars all rea-(C)-lign,
The (A) sun shines through the (D) day,
I was (G) wrong, (G) baby it was you all (C) along.
(A) Blocking my (D) way. (G)
I’m sick of (G) it. (G) You and all your twisted little (C) tricks,
How you’re (A) never on my (D) side.
Now it’s (G) time to (G) leave you cold and then take back what’s (C) mine,
‘Cause (A) I feel good (D) tonight.
And (C) all you ever gave to me were (G) promises that you
Would (C) never turn your back on me, (G) and you didn’t even see them (D) through.
So (G) now, at mid-(D)-night,
In the (C) pitch black, I’m (G) finally seeing (D) clear!
I was (G) caught in a land-(G)-slide
Of (C) things I should’ve said to you, but (G) didn’t out of (D) fear,
But now I (Em) know,
Your soul’s as harsh as midnight (G),
Your heart’s as dark as midnight (C),
You are as cold as midnight (G),
But now the (D) sun is gonna (G) rise.
I didn’t even (G) get a (G) single sentence in before you (C) went
And (A) turned it all to (D) you.
Yeah, I was (G) dumb. I (G) didn’t notice just how shallow you’d (C) become,
How you (A) never thought this (D) through.
You promised until the (G) end, and (G) SHE was just a girl who played (C) pretend.
But you still (A) fell for her (D) game.
Now I’m (G) left (G) thinking about all the things you (C) said,
And how I (A) loved you all the (D) same.
But (C) every time I close my eyes, it’s (G) you and her I see.
You’d (C) think that after all this time, (G) I would’ve known you hated me!
(G) Now, at mid-(D)-night,
In the (C) pitch black, I’m (G) finally seeing (D) clear!
(G) Caught in a land-(D)-slide
Of (C) things I should’ve meant to you, but (G) you just didn’t (D) care!
So now I (Em) know,
Your soul’s as harsh as midnight (G),
Your heart’s as dark as midnight (C),
You’re an eternal midnight (G),
But now the (D) sun is gonna (G) rise!
(G) I’m gonna rise above you, (D) shining in the sky.
(C) After all we’ve been through, (G) you didn’t need a reason why.
(G) You trusted her blindly, (D) now you BOTH can’t see.
(C) Because baby, I’ll be rising (G) while you’re staring up at me.
Rise, (D) yeah. (C) Rise, (G) yeah…
(G) Rise, (D) yeah. (C) Rise, (G) yeah…
I’m taking (G) back the (G) things I said to you about all (C) that,
‘Cause you don’t (A) own any (D) part of (G) me.
