Song: The Upper Hand Artist: Goldfinger Album: Open Your Eyes Notes: In my opinion, the best song on the album, but seems very little known. Its the bonus track, in case your interested! Also, it uses the same chord twice (F#5), which ive labeled F#5 and F#5a (see bottom!) Verse

                 A5               E5
Since youve been 15 youve were confused

F#5                 D5
At the age its so hard to just be you

A5             E5
You got your friends, your records

    F#5               D5
The only thing that makes you feel whole

A5                E5          F#5
Youre trying to figure it all out

                D5         A5              E5
Sometimes you realise the fight is oh so futile

       F#5             D5
When someone else is telling you your wrong

Chorus

D5              A5
You know your right

    G5
But no one seems to listen,

     F#5a                E5      D5
They say you're just a child,

                  A5
So you turn and fight,

      G5
For me that is the only way

   F#5a               E                   A5   E5   F#5
To step to what they say is the upper hand,

                D5                A5  E5  F#5              
Don't let them take the upper hand

                D5
Don't let them take the upper hand

You wanna go out and forget the day Go out and just make your life seem real Forget your mom and dad Forget about your job, your home, your school You take so much shit, Your girl said it's over You think about giving up But don't you dare give up without a fight You know you're right But no one seems to listen, They say you're just a child, So you turn and fight, For me that is the only way To step to what they say is the upper hand, Don't let them take the upper hand Never let them take the upper hand The upper hand Chords
