C B7 Em

[Verse]
Em           D
The pouring rain
                     Em
Sticks my hair to my face
         D                  Em
An empty gaze is all I have left
                    Am     D        Em
The stars that once lit my way have dimmed
               C
The sky turned grey
    Am           D           Em
The path once so clear faded away

                D                   Em
Blessed are the days when life is intent and clear
             D                 Em
No falter or doubt  I know the way
             Am      D
They are the days, I hoped
       Em                      C
I have never stepped from this road
    Am           Bm
The spark I once had
              Em   D  Bm
Seems to have died ...

[Chorus]
             Em
Stand up and fight (stand up and fight)
             G      D      Em
Stand up and look into the light,
            G      B7
Pushing the clouds away...
             Em
Stand up and fight (stand up and fight)
             G       D        Em
Stand up and see the sky turn bright
            G      B       C B7 Em
Fight for a better day ...

[Verse]
           D                 Em
What a relief it would be to end this all
                    D              Em
How easy to fly the white flag and give up
            Am     D          Em          C
But would I run today just to die another day
        Am            Bm                Em  D B
Give up now and every fight has been in vain ...

[Chorus]
             Em
Stand up and fight (stand up and fight)
             G       D     Em
Stand up and look into the light,
            G       B
Pushing the clouds away...
             Em
Stand up and fight (stand up and fight)
             G       D        Em
Stand up and see the sky turn bright
            G      B
Fight for a better day

The pouring rain,
               Gm
Sticks my hair to my face

[Chorus]

Stand up and fight (stand up and fight)
             C      G      Am
Stand up and look into the light,
            C      E
Pushing the clouds away...

And I'm telling you Stand up and fight
