Rise Against – Hairline Fracture (Guitar)

G#m                B
A sinking ship, an awkward kiss,

  E                    F#
A chance to set things straight.

    G#m               B
The kind of hurt that burns and burns,

E             F#
Like fires we can't contain.

   G#m          B               E                 F#
We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice and there we'll wait,

   G#m         B
To start again with steady hands,

E           F#                C#m
This time nothing gets in our way,

          E                         F#
But as we peer a little closer what do we see?

C#m               G#m
   A crack in the surface,

F#               E                              B             F#
   A flaw in the plan

                  G#m
   A cadence imperfect

F#                    E                                       B               C#m
   Like a building condemned

G#m                B
A promise kept, the dirt unswept,

  E              F#
A poorly worn disguise.

G#m                  B
A child unloved that then grows up,

E            F#
To love what we despise.

      G#m              B                 E                  F#
We're broken but still breathing, we are wounded but we are healing.

   G#m                   B
We pick up right where we left off,

E           F#            C#m
Breathe on the ashes that remain,

              E                                   F#
So that these coals may become fire, to guide our way.

C#m               G#m
   A crack in the surface,

F#               E                              B             F#
   A flaw in the plan

                  G#m
   A cadence imperfect

F#                    E                                       B               C#m       E
   Like a building condemned

G#m                          E
I walk on wounds that seldom prove to slow me down,

G#m                         E
I laugh this constant pain away, so you can't tell,

F#
But there it lies under the smiles,

E
It drains me mile after mile,

F#                          E
But seldom proves to slow me down,

G#m      F# E
Here I go,

G#m      F# E
Here I go,

G#m      F# E
Here I go.

               F#     E
Should we just hold on,

          F#      E
To what remains of,

         F#         E
What we thought was lost.

E                 G#m
   A crack in the surface,

F#               E                              B             F#
   A flaw in the plan

                  G#m
   A cadence imperfect

F#                    E                                       B               F#
   Like a building condemned

                                                                                                G#m
                                                                                A crack in the surface,

F#                E
   A crack in the surface.
