Intro 1
(A minor)
(G minor) (G major)
(F sharp major)
Verse 1
(B minor) Dear preacher,
thanks for making (E major) time for me today
Hope you don't mind (A minor) if
I hide behind (F major) the curtain
It's (B minor) been fifteen years
since (E major) my last confession
By (A minor) your good book's standards,
I've sinned (G major) like a champion
But that book (F major) seems a tad
bit (E major) out-dated
please (A minor) please forgive

Verse 2
me,
for ques (G major) tioning divinity
(F major) It's an ugly job, but I think (E major) I'm up for it
(A minor) I'm not saying who's right
(G major) I'm just saying (E major) there's more
than one way
To (F major) skin a religion
There's more (D major) than one way
(F major) To explain our (A minor) existence (F major)
(E major) (A minor) (G minor)
Verse 3
(G major) (F sharp major)
(B minor) reverend, sir, I don't want
(E major) to seem malevolent
My teen (A minor) age angst is far
(F major) behind me
(B minor) But father, certainly it's (E major) troubling to see
All these people (A minor) kneeling,
instead (G major) of dealing
With the (F major) fact that we are all we (E major) have
Verse 4
so, (E major) rise up! (A minor) rise up!
(F major) There's no (G major) one to worship!
(F major) But plenty of life (E major) to lose!
(A minor) I'm not saying "let's burn
(G major) down the church"
But do (E major) you want to hear my con (F major) fession?
(E major) It's my greatest sin.. (F major)
okay, (E major) here
Verse 5
it is:
(B minor) I wasted half (E major) my life on the thought
that I'd live (A minor) (F major) forever!
(B minor) I wasn't raised, (E major) to seize the day,
but to work (A minor) and worship
'cause "he (G major) that liveth and believeth" (F major)
supposedly nev (E major) er dies
rise (D major) up! rise up!
Verse 6
(E major)
And (F major) live a full life! (G major)
(A minor) 'cause when it's over, it's (G major) (F major) done
So rise (D minor) up! rise up!
(F major) Dance and scream and love! (G major)
(A minor)
Verse 7
[barely audible outro]
You're not (G major) the (D minor) chosen (F major)
(A minor) one (D minor) (F major)
And I'm not (G major) the (D minor) chosen (F major) one
Rise Up! Rise Up!
