D Bm
If you prick us, don't it sting
G D
if you kick us, won't it hurt
G D G A
I am wrapped in scraps of linen and pieces of people's old shirts
D Bm G D
But way way underneath all these sticky bands
G D G A
I hold all my dreams right here in my hands
[Chorus]
Bm D
I will rise from the tomb
Em G
Like an infant emerging from the womb
[Instrumental]
D Bm G D
G D G A
[Verse]
D Bm G D
I spent several thousand years down here all alone
G D G A
No way to stem the lonely old ache in my bones
D Bm G D
Say the spell three times, crank up the special effects
G D G A
I'm gonna cast off all my bandages and see what happens next
[Chorus]
Bm D
I will rise fully formed
Em G
Like an infant, freshly born
[Bridge]
G D C G
I've been trapped too long underneath the ground
G D G C
In the hollow darkness, but ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
[Chorus]
Bm D
I will push my hand up through the earth
Em G A
and I will rise like the cry of an infant at its birth
D Bm G A
[Instrumental]
D Bm G D
G D A D
