[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
Em D C
Who am I when who I am is changing?
Em D C
And who am I when I’m not in my head?
Em D C
I’m followin’ the signs, where will they take me?
Em D C
Will my future self and I be friends?

[Pre-Chorus]
G D
I’m searchin’ for stars, the horizon is black
Em D
But I know what I know, and there’s no goin’ back

[Chorus]
G D
I’ve been livin’ under one small piece of sky
Em
Suddenly, the whole world is open wide
D C
It’s time I’m rising, rising
G D
There’s a part of me reachin’ for the light
Em D C G D Em C
So strong, impossible to hide this fire that’s rising, rising

[Verse 2]
Em D C
And what am I when what I am is wild
Em D C
And louder than I ever dared beliеve?
Em D C
I’m so done with hiding in the shadows
D C
And I’m so ovеr bein’ scared of me

[Pre-Chorus]
G
The stars are all new (The stars are all new)
D
I’m charting a path (I’m charting a path)
Em
’Cause I know what I know (I know what I know)
D
And there’s no goin’ back

[Chorus]
G D
I’ve been livin’ under one small piece of sky
Em
Suddenly, the whole world is open wide
D C
It’s time I’m rising, rising
G D
There’s a part of me reachin’ for the light
Em D C
So strong, impossible to hide this fire that’s rising, rising

[Bridge]
G
To the challenge

To the surface
D
(Rising, rising)
Em
To the moment

To the calling
C
(Rising, rising)
G D
I’ve been searching, I’ve been learning (Rising, rising)
EM D C
And finding that this too could change with time, and that’s alright

[Chorus]
G D
I’ve been livin’ under one small piece of sky
Em
Not scared to leave it all behind
D C
It’s time I’m rising
G D
I’ve been livin’ under one small piece of sky
Em
Suddenly, the whole world is open wide
D C
It’s time I’m rising, rising
G D
There’s a part of me reachin’ for the light
Em D C G
So strong, impossible to hide this fire that’s rising, rising

[Outro]
D Em
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
C
Rising, rising
