Midnight Hands chords by Rise Against

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C#m

Verse 1:
C#m
Like a new day rising, like a calm before the storm,
C#m
Like fog lifting from valleys on a sleeping forest floor,
C#m
Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off,
C#m
To gaze upon the wreckage that the midnight hands have wrought.

Pre-Chorus:
      A              B
And now I, I feel my temperature rising,
        C#m
My body explode.
A             B
I feel like somebody's watching,
         F#m
Like I'm not alone.
       E      B
I stopped, I vowed right then and said:

Chorus:
C#m          A
Whatever path you take (the path you take),
E           B
Wherever you might go (where you might go),
C#m       A
Whenever you decide to leave,
    E       F#m  C#m
I will follow, I will follow.

Verse 2:
C#m
We face a crossroad never knowing what's in store,
C#m
There's an angel on my shoulder,
C#m
There's a devil at my door.
C#m
She proclaimed, "Tonight will be the greatest of our lives",
C#m                           B
And I said, "Don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning light".

Pre-Chorus:
A              B
I feel my temperature rising,
        C#m
My body explode.
A             B
I feel like somebody's watching,
         F#m
Like I'm not alone.
       E      B
I stopped, I vowed right then and said:

I will follow, I will follow.

Bridge:
C#m         E
There in the clearing we gathered close,
B              F#m
Under the moon's pale light, we laid out the tools.
C#m                   B
"You don't have to do this, but I forgive you if you don't",
A                F#m  E F#m E B
She just looked away and said "I know."

Breakdown:
C#m
Gripped by the midnight hands,
A         B
We cradle futures they would prevent,
C#m           A
Gripped by the midnight hands.
A
The line's crossed over,
B
The dawn grows closer,
C#m
Let's bite off too much,
C#m
Let's jump with a blind trust,
  A       B
In water over our heads.

Chorus:
C#m          A

Wherever you might go,

I will follow, I will follow.

Chorus 2:
    C#m            A
I won't bet on the falls you take (the falls you take)
    E       B
I won't let go if you start to stray,
    C#m            A
I'll be there until you don't wake up, yeah,
    E       F#m
I will follow, I will follow I will follow.
