Chords Rise Against - Collapse
Lyrics Rise Against - Collapse
hey , this is a simplified version for acoustic guitars . i think this song can also be
with chords on accoustic guitar . i’m using A D – tuning , but it might also be okay
in standard tuning .
notice : in verse it also might sound good to play G5 and F#5 instead of G an F#
enjoy it .
verse :
E5 G F# E5
when our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
E5 G F# E5
and when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow
C A
from the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
E5 B
to the fight in the desert where progress stands still
C A
when we’ve lost our will
chorus :
E5
that’s how we’ll know
G A E5
this is not a test , oh no
G A
this is cardiac arrest
E5 G A
of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
E5 G A E5
we’re crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace
verse :
E5 G F# E5
when the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
E5 G F#
E5
when the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
C A
when your home on the range has been torn down and paved and
E5 B
the buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
C A
what more will it take
chorus :
E5
for us to know
G A E5
this is not a test , oh no
G A
this is cardiac arrest
E5 G A
of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
E5 G A E5
kissing the ground as we all fall from grace
bridge :
E5 C A
this is a chance to set things straight
E5 C A
to bend or break the rules back into place
E5 C A
there is no middle ground , no compromise , we’ve drawn the line
E5 C A
with perfect aim , we stand back and throw
E5 C A
glass windows break and it’s all about to blow
E5 C A
lights go out as we pass the torch again
G D B C
in hope that it stays lit
solo
C A
neutrality means that you don’t really care
E5 B
cause the struggle goes on even when you’re not there
C A
blind and unaware
chorus :
E5
that’s how we’ll know
G A E5
this is not a test , oh no
G A
this is cardiac arrest
E5 G A
of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
E5 G A
E5
we’re crashing into the ground as we all , yeah we all , all fall from grace
