elevating,

hanging on a line
               D
Hate to say it
                  C
your new favourite’s
               D   E
going out of style
                 D
Threw away those
                 E
of broken heroes,
                    D  E
that just wasn't wise
           D
Hallelujah,
                      C
spread the news, boy,

don't believe the hype

I know a place we can start

I’ve waited a lifetime to live

It's time to ignite, I'm making a fire

Verse 2:
             D
I was baited
                E
when I said I'd
               D  E
never tell a lie
             D
Lucky then I
                 C
took a stand and
                   D
finally hit my stride

Pre-Chorus:
    C   A
Alright
