The Dirt Whispered Rise Against
She got down on hand[G]s and kn[D]ees, one ear against the [G]ground,[D] [A]
Holding[G] her [D]breath to hear something, but the [G]dirt made [D]not a sound[A] tonight
[G] [D] [D] [D]
[G] [D] [A] [A]
[G] [D] [D] [D]
[G] [D] [A] [A]
[G]Echoes[D] of songs still lurk on [G]distant [D]foreign shores[A], where we
[G] Danced [D]just to please the gods that [G]only ask[D] for [A]more, and so it [Bm]goes
But still we give[A] ourselves to this
[G] We can't spend our lives waiting to [D]live
On cold nights
[A] In a prayer for [G]dawn
But daylight
Isn't what she [D]wants
The concrete
[A] Calls my name a[G]gain
I'm falling
[D] Through the [A]cracks I [G]slip
[D] [D] [D]
[G] [D] [A] [A]
[G] [D] [D] [D]
[G] [D] [A] [A]
The postcard says wish [D]you were here
But I'd [G]rather I[D] was [A]there, holding
[G] On [D]to the simple things be[G]fore they [D]disap[A]pear, that's what I [Bm]meant
But that was then[A], and this is now
[G] I'll make it up to you somehow
[D] On cold nights
[A] In a prayer for [G]dawn
But daylight
Isn't what she [D]wants
The concrete
[A] Calls my name a[G]gain
I'm falling
[D] Through the [A]cracks I [Bm]slip
A destination
[A] A fading smile
[D] Another station
[Em] Another mile
[Bm] Another day gone
[A] I swore that I will
[D] Be there before dawn
[Em] So be there I will[G] [A]
[D]
She [G]got down[D] on hands and knees, one [G]ear against[D] the [A]ground,
Holding[G] her [D]breath to hear something, [G]anything[D] at all[A]
[G] The Dirt Whispered, "Child, I'm coming home."
[D] On cold nights
[A] In a prayer for [G]dawn
But daylight
Isn't what she [D]wants
The concrete
[A] Calls my name a[G]gain
I'm falling
[D] Through the [A]cracks I[D] slip
[A] I[G] slip
Through the cracks I [D]slip
(Through the cracks I [A]slip)
Through the cracks I[G] slip
[D]
