Please welcome back Craig [N] David. _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [B] Come [D] on baby, _ [A] I got something to say [C#] I've been [D] here, oh yeah, [F#] it's the rise and [F#m] fall,
the rise and fall, you know what?
Yo, check it.
_ [C#m] I always said that I was [Bm] gonna make it
[C#] and I was playing for everyone [F#m] to see, [C#m] but this game I'm in don't take [B] no prisoners,
[C#] just casualties.
[F#m] _ _ [C#m] I know that everything is gonna [Bm] _ change, even the friends I knew before [F#m] may go,
but [C#m] this dream is the [B] life I've been _ [C#] searching [F#m] for.
[C#m] Started believing that I was [Bm] the greatest,
my [C#] life was never gonna be [D] the same, cause [C#m] with the money came a different [Bm] status,
that's when things _ [F#m] changed.
Now I'm [C#m] too concerned with all the things [Bm] I own,
blinded by all the pretty girls I [F#m] see.
I'm [C#m] beginning to [B] lose my integrity, [F#m] sometimes in
life [C#m] you feel the [Bm] fight is over, [C#] over, [F#m] and it seems as though [C#m] the writing's on [B] the wall,
_ [F#] yeah. _
[C] [F#m] Superstar, you finally [C#m] made it, but once [Bm] your picture becomes [C#] tainted, it's what [D] they call
_ [C#m] _
the [B] rise and fall, [G#] oh yeah.
[F#m] You know what?
I [C#m] never used to be a trouble [Bm] maker,
now [C#] I don't even wanna please the [D] fans.
[C#m] No autographs, no interviews, no [B] pictures,
_ [G#] _
[C#] endless [F#m] demands.
_ [C#m] Gave in to vices that were clearly [Bm] wrong, the [F#] types that seem to make
me feel so [F#m] right, but [C#m] some things you may [B] find can take [C#] over your [F#m] _ life.
[C#m] Burned all my bridges,
now I've run [B] out of places, [C#] and there's nowhere left for me [D] to turn.
[C#m] Been caught in compromising
[Bm] situations, I should have [F#m] _ learned [C#m] from all those times I didn't walk [Bm] away, when I knew that it was
best [D] to go.
Is [C#m] it too late to [B] show you the [F#m] shape of my heart?
[C#m] You feel the [Bm] fight is over, over,
[F#m] and it seems as [C#m] though the writing's [B] on the wall, [F#m] yeah. _
_ Superstar, you [C#m] finally made it,
but [Bm] once your picture [F#m] becomes tainted, it's what they _ [C#m] call the [B] rise and _ [C#] fall, oh yeah.
[A] You know what?
Now I know [C#m] I made _ _ [B] mistakes, think [Bm] I don't care, but [A] you don't realize what this means to me,
so let me have [C#m] just one [A] more chance.
[B] I'm not [B] the man I used to [E] _ be, [F] used [Gm] to _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Cm] be. _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] Oh yeah, [C] the _ writing's [Gm]
on the wall, [Dm] _
oh [Cm] _ _ [D] yeah. _
[D#] It's what they [Dm] call, it's what they [C] call the rise and [D] fall.
[Gm] Sometimes in [Dm] life you feel the [Cm] fight is over, _ _ and [D#] it seems if [Dm] the writing's on [Cm] the wall, [G] oh yeah. _
_ [Gm] Superstar, you [Dm] finally made it, [Cm] but once your picture [D] becomes tainted, [D#] it's what they call
[Dm] _ _
[C] the rise and fall.
[D] Oh _
_ [Gm] baby girl, [Dm] _
it's the [Cm] rise and fall.
_ [D] _ _
_ [D#] _ You [Dm] think the writing's [Cm] on the [Gm] wall, oh superstar, you [Dm] finally made it, [Cm] but once your picture [D] becomes
tainted, [D#] it's what they call [Dm] _
_ _ [Cm] the rise and [D] _ fall, [D] rise and _ [Gm] fall, _ _ yeah baby. _ _ _
