Intro: 
F                        C                   
I will rise, I will rise 
G                        Am 
I will rise, I will rise 
 
Verse 1 
       F  
It was like somebody knew how to cripple me 
         C 
with the perfect plan to break my belief 
        G                       C                 Am    G 
Take me piece by piece till my faith was all but gone 
              F                   C 
It knocked me down so far that I couldn't get up  
         C 
but face down in the dirt I heard the voice of love  
G                        C                Am 
saying do not fear, you won't be here for long 
 
Chorus 
              F                  C 
I will rise again, I will rise again 
                           G 
I believe I believe that I had to break 
                      Am        
So love could make me whole  
                 F                      C                        
But I will rise again, stronger in the end 
                         G 
I believe I believe in a brand new day 
                     Am       
a love that saves so I can say 
        C      F 
I will rise again 
 
Verse 2 
        F 
I'm not who I was, You won't recognize me 
C      
Love came sown and redefined me 
     G                                  C        Am   G 
And piece by piece put me back together differently 
        F                                C 
And the perfect plan to try to bring me down 
        C      
Has been put to shame it's been turned around  
     G                                     Am 
as I come so alive that death is afraid of me 
 
Chorus 
              F                  C 
I will rise again, I will rise again 
                           G 
I believe I believe that I had to break 
                      Am      
So love could make me whole  
                 F                      C                        
But I will rise again, stronger in the end 
                         G 
I believe I believe in a brand new day 
                     Am 
A love that saves so I can say 
            F 
I will rise again 
                        C 
I will rise, I will rise 
                        G 
I will rise, I will rise 
                        C  Am 
I will rise, I will rise 
 
Bridge: 
F                              
Cause you've been here before 
C 
You've overcome the war 
G 
My life is found in yours 
Am 
And you say I will rise again 
F 
You heal and you restore 
C  
You break down every door 
G 
My life is found in yours 
Am                            F  C 
And you say I will rise again 
G                     Am 
I will rise, I will rise
