Intro: (E E G A) 

E      E     G        A
All I see is not for me. 
E      E        G        A
What I want you have not got. 
E                 E                   G              A
Tried to use the things you sold me, no matter what the cost 
E                E                G                A
Tried to go the way you told me, but each time, I got lost 
    G                  A
The stairs didn't lead me anywhere! 
E                D          G           A
I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof. 
E                    D           G               A
Don't care if it's not the way you find the truth.

Time to make this right: to rise above. 

This room and all of you 
Who say I should do like you would 
Tried to live the life you sold me, no matter what the cost. 
Tried to walk the way you told me, but each time I got lost 
The stairs didn't lead me anywhere! 

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof. 
Don't care if it's not the way you find the truth 
And when I get up that high, I don't know what I'll find 
But I'd rather look at the sky than wonder why I let you take my time 
Time to make this right: to rise above.
