Lyrics Rise Against - Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
here’s my acoustic version of this wondeful song :
C#m _
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A
so please don’t ask me how
B C#m
i ended up at my wits end
F#m A
and breaking down
B C#m F#m
pages torn from books we never read ,
A B
cause we’re plugged into this grid .
C#m F#m
don’t pull this plug right now ,
A B
or then we’d really have to live .
A F#m
when i die , will they remember not
A F#m
what i did , but what i haven’t done?
A F#m
it’s not the end that i fear with each breath
A B
it’s life that scares me to death .
E
when we built these dreams on sand
B
how they all slipped through our hands
C#m A
this might be our only chance
E
let’s take this one day at a time
B
i’ll hold your hand if you hold mine
C#m A
the time that we kill keeps us alive .
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A B
C#m F#m A
your words won’t save me now .
B C#m F#m A
i’m at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow .
B C#m F#m
“get a grip on yourself” is what they say ,
A B
every hour , every day .
C#m F#m
hands over my ears ,
A B
i’ve been screaming all these years!
A F#m
when i die , will they remember not
A F#m
what i did , but what i haven’t done?
A F#m
it’s not the end that i fear with each breath
A B
it’s life that scares me to death .
E
when we built these dreams on sand
B
how they all slipped through our hands
C#m A
this might be our only chance
E
let’s take this one day at a time
B
i’ll hold your hand if you hold mine
C#m A
the time that we kill keeps us alive .
F#m _ _
F#m E F#m _
we came in search of answers!
E D _ A B _ E
we left empty handed again!
F#m _ E F#m _
shots fired into the sky . . .
E D _
are now returning!
A B _ E
where the fxxk will you hide?
F#m _ E F#m _
hiding from the laughter in the closets of our lives ,
E D _ A E _
but the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light .
E F#m _
and now a hand’s extending outward ,
E F#m _
quiet comfort they invite ,
E D _
do we dare take what they offer?
A E _
do we step into the light?
A F#m
when i die , will they remember not
A F#m
what i did , but what i haven’t done?
A F#m
it’s not the end that i fear with each breath
A B
it’s life that scares me to death .
