[Intro]

F G Am G (4x)
                           Am   G
Don't wanna take my country back
                        F       G
I wanna take my country forward
                            Am   G
Don't wanna take my country back
                        F       G
I wanna take my country forward
                            Am
Don't wanna take my country back


[Verse 1]
           G
Everyone's preaching to their choirs
F                   G
Words billow up and get trapped in church spires
Am              G
Wisps of fury against one's neighbor
F                     G
Reeling around in the echo chamber


[Pre-Chorus]
F   C                       Dm
Now look what we've done to ourselves
      Em                         F
We've really gone and fucked it, this time
C                       Dm
Look what we've done to ourselves


[Chorus]
F              C               G C Em F
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
                C               G C Em F
I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
            C               G C Em F
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
            C               G
Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!)


[Verse 2]
        Am                   G               F
There's anger stashed in the creases of your face
                        G            Am
That burning rage could gut a castle
                   G
But you torch your neighbor
    F                             Am
And now your whole town is ablaze

             G
"Everyone is seeing red"
          F       G                     Am
Laugh the pyromaniacs in the stronghold
               G
Sparking fury against one's neighbor
F                          G
Twisting the truth with a "blamethrower"


[Pre-Chorus]

F   C                       Dm
Now look what we've done to ourselves
      Em                         F
We've really gone and fucked it, this time
C                       Dm
Look what we've done to ourselves


[Chorus]

F              C               G C Em F
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
                C               G C Em F
I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
            C               G C Em F
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
            C               G
Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!)


[Interlude]
                              F          G
I don't wanna take my country back, back
                        Am      G
I wanna take my country forward
                      F           G
I don't wanna take my country back
                        Am      G
I wanna take my country forward

                              F    G
I don't wanna take my country back
                        Am      G
I wanna take my country forward
                              F    G
I don't wanna take my country back
                        Am       F
I wanna take my country forward


[Bridge]
                  G                  Am
I feel like we're living on the edge
        G               F
And the cliff's eroding
                  G                  Am
I feel like we're living on the edge
        G               F
And the cliff's eroding

                  G                  Am
I feel like we're living on the edge
        G               F
And the cliff's eroding
                  G                  Am Bm C Dm
I feel like we're living on the edge


[Chorus]

F              C               G C Em F
So get up, get up and feel the rising tide
                C               G C Em F
I'm fed up, fed up with all the cyanide
            C               G C Em F
Get up, get up and feel the rising tide
            C               G
Get up, get up (Get up! Get up!)
