Dm E Dm Db
Gm Bb A

[Verse]
Dm                       E
 I've walked the coiling lines
Dm                  Db
 Set back a hundred times
Dm              Bb              A
Winding through worlds of weary kings

(Once more to the first)

Dm                 E
 Another crumbling hall
Dm                Db
 Another humbling fall
Gm            A                   Dm
Once more the mourning bells will ring

[Chorus]
                    Bb
But I won't be kept down
                  Dm
I'll just keep on rising
             E
Failure ever fading
                A
Growth in every pain

                Bb
I won't be kept down
              Dm
Embers keep igniting
                  A
Suns will sink to shade
                 Dm
But always rise again

Dm E Dm Db
Gm Bb A

[Verse]
Dm                    E
 I've been a ghost of flame
Dm                Db
 A fading fire to claim
Gm        A               Dm
Lost in a world of aching shame

[Chorus]
                    Bb
But I won't be kept down
                  Dm
I'll just keep on rising
             E
Failure ever fading
                A
Growth in every pain

                Bb
I won't be kept down
              Dm
Embers keep igniting
                  A
Suns will sink to shade
                 Gm
But always rise again

[Bridge]
Gm          A
Look to the sun
Dm            F
Hollow is the curse
        Gm      A
Now the end has begun
Dm
Once more to the first

Gm          A
Look to the sun
Dm            F
Hollow is the curse
       Gm        A
Beaten back, overrun

[Chorus]
                    Bb
But I won't be kept down
                  Dm
I'll just keep on rising
             E
Failure ever fading
                A
Growth in every pain

                Bb
I won't be kept down
              Dm
Embers keep igniting
                  A
Suns will sink to shade
                 Dm
But always rise again

Always rise again
