Rise & Fall Chords by Craig David

Sometimes in [C#m] life you feel the [Bm] fight is over
_ [C#]
[F#m] And it seems as [C#m] though the writing's [Bm] on the wall _ _
[F#m] Superstar, you [C#m] finally made it
But [Bm] once your picture becomes [C#] tainted
It's [F#] what they [C#m] call the [Bm] rise and fall
[F#m] Sometimes in [C#m] life you feel the [Bm] fight is over
[C#] And [D] it seems as [C#m] though the writing's [Bm] on the wall _ _
[F#m] Superstar, you [C#m] finally made it
But [Bm] once your picture becomes tainted
[C#] It's [F#m] what they [E] call the [Bm] rise and fall
[F#m] _
_ [C#m] I always said that I was [Bm] gonna make it
And I was playing [C#] for everyone [D] to see
[C#m] But this game I'm in don't take [Bm] no prisoners Just casualties
[F#m] _ [C#m] I know that everything is [Bm] gonna change
Even the [C#] friends I knew before [D] me go
But [C#m] this dream is [Bm] the life I've been searching [F#m] for
[C#m] I didn't believe in that I was [Bm] the greatest
My life was [C#] never gonna be [D] the same
[C#m] Cause with the money came a [Bm] different status
That's when things [F#m] changed
[C#m] Now I'm too concerned with all the [Bm] things I own
Blinded by [C#] all the pretty [D] girls I see
I'm [C#m] beginning [Bm] to lose my [F#] integrity
[F#m] Sometimes in [E] life you feel the [Bm] fight is over
[C#]
[D] And it seems as [C#m] though the writing's [Bm] on the wall _ _
[F#m] Superstar, you [C#m] finally made it
But [Bm] once your picture becomes [C#] tainted
It's [F#m] what they [E] call the [Bm] rise and fall _
[F#m] _ [C#m] I never used to be a [Bm] troublemaker
Now I don't [C#] even want to [D] please the fans
[C#m] No autographs, no interviews, [Bm] no pictures
Endless [F#m] demands
[C#m] And the vices that were [Bm] clearly wrong
The types that seem [C#] to make me feel [D] so right
But [C#m] some things you [Bm] may find
Can take over your [F#m] life
[C#m] Burned all my bridges, now I've [Bm] run out of places
And there's [C#] 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 [Bm] walk away
When I knew [C#] that it was [D] best to go
Is [C#m] it too late [Bm] to show [G#m] you the shape of [F#m] my heart?
Sometimes in [E] life you feel the [Bm] fight is over
And it [C#] _
[D] seems as [C#m] though the _ [Bm] _ writing's on the wall
[F#m] Superstar, you [C#m] finally made it
But [Bm] once your picture becomes [C#] tainted
It's [F#m] what they [C#m] call the [Bm] rise and fall
[D] Now I know _ [C#m] I made mistakes _
[Bm] Think I don't care
[A] But you don't realize what this [D] means to me
So let me have [C#m] just one more chance
[Bm] I'm not the man I used to [E] be
Used [Gm] to be
Sometimes in [F] life you feel the [Cm] fight is over
_ [D]
[Gm] And it seems as [Dm] though the writing's [Cm] on the wall _
[Gm] Superstar, you [Dm] finally made it
[Cm] But once your picture becomes [D] tainted
It's [Gm] what they [F] call the [Cm] rise and fall
[Gm] Sometimes in [Dm] life you feel the [Cm] fight is over
And [D] it [Gm] seems as [Dm] though the writing's [Cm] on the wall _
[Gm] Superstar, you [Dm] finally made it
But [C] once your picture becomes [D] tainted
It's [Gm] what they call [Dm] the [Cm] rise and fall
The [Gm] rise and fall
[Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F#] I see [D#] it
[Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [D] _
[D#] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [D] _
