[Chorus: Sting]
      Em             D               Am     B
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

Em                              D               Am  B
And it seems as though the writing is on the wall

       Em                  D
Superstar you finally made it

                   Am              B
But once your picture becomes tainted

                 Em        D
It's what they call

                Am         B
The rise and fall
[Verse 1: Craig David]
Em                   D               Am     B
I always said that I was gonna make it

B                                 Em
Now it's plain for everyone to see

Em                   D                     Am
But this game I'm in don't take no prisoners

      B
Just casualties

Em                   D               Am     B
I know that everything is gonna change

               B
Even the friends I knew before may go

Em                   D                         Am     B
But this dream is the life I've been searching for

Em                   D               Am     
Started believing that I was the greatest

                         B               
My life was never gonna be the same

Em                   D               Am     
Cause with the money came a different status

            B         
That's when things change

Em                   D                      Am
Now I'm too concerned with all the things I own

           B
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see

Em          D        Am      B
I'm beginning to lose my integrity
[Chorus: Sting]
      Em             D               Am     B
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

         Em                     D               Am  B
And it seems as though the writing is on the wall

       Em                  D
Superstar you finally made it

                   Am              B
But once your picture becomes tainted

                 Em        D
It's what they call

                Am         B
The rise and fall
[Verse 2: Craig David]
Em                   D               Am
I never used to be a troublemaker

              B                        Em
Now I don't even wanna please the fans

            D                           Am
No autographs, no interviews, no pictures

        B          Em
Endless demands

         D                       Am
Given advice that was clearly wrong

               B                               Em
The type that seems to make me feel so right

                    D                           Am    B     Em
But some things you may find can take over your life

                 D                             Am
Burnt all my bridges, now I've run out of places

                     B               Em 
And there's nowhere left for me to turn

                D               Am
Been caught in compromising situations

   B                       Em
I should have learned

                   D                   Am
From all those times I didn't walk away

         B                        Em
When I knew that it was best to go

           D           Am          B
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart?
[Chorus: Sting]
      Em             D               Am     B
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

Em                              D               Am  B
And it seems as though the writing is on the wall

       Em                  D
Superstar you finally made it

                   Am              B
But once your picture becomes tainted

                 Em        D
It's what they call

                Am         B
The rise and fall
[Bridge]
C          Bm
Now I know I made mistakes

Am
Think I don't care

G                                        C 
But you don't realize what this means to me

                    Bm
So let me have just one more chance

Am                
I'm not the man I used to be, used to be
[Chorus: Sting]
Em                   D               Am     B
Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

Em                              D               Am  B
And it seems as though the writing is on the wall

       Em                  D
Superstar you finally made it

                   Am              B
But once your picture becomes tainted

                 Em        D
It's what they call

                Am         B
The rise and fall
