Rise Against – The Strength To Go On (Ukulele)

        C#m    A  B
Welcome home 

      C#m    A  B
While away 

          C#m               A     B
They have tampered with the locks 

         E             F#m
And your things they rearranged

    C#m     A  B
“We propose 

         C#m    A  B
a better way.” 

          C#m            A       B
Said they note they left behind 

         E          F#m
In their wake of disarray 

            A
You fell in place

           B
Don’t fall asleep 

                C#m
They’ll find us here 

         B           A
I know a place to disappear 

              B
As a voice proclaimed

        C#m        E        A
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies 

        C#m            E          A
What we know is almost nothing at all 

       C#m         E             A
But we are what we are until the day we die 

         B                                A
Or until we don’t have the strength to go on 

     B                                A
Til' we don't have the strength to go on

       C#m    
Let us cry 

       C#m    
Let us be 

       C#m         
Let us open up our hearts 

        E          F#m
Without fear of anything

      C#m
Faith alone 

          C#m
Is all we need 

      C#m
To traverse this burning bridge 

      E                F#m
Now before it gets too late 

                A
You said. “it’s fine”

              B
But the heart reveals 

            C#m
What smiles betray 

             B             A
Your sad sad eyes gave you away 

          B
Don’t you know

        C#m        E        A
What we are is the sum of a thousand lies 

        C#m            E          A
What we know is almost nothing at all 

       C#m         E             A
But we are what we are until the day we die 

         B                                A
Or until we don’t have the strength to go on 

     B                                A
Til' we don't have the strength to go on

B              C#m           A
 Our shoulders bear an awful weight 

B             C#m              A
 These colors run then leave a stain 

B               C#m         A
 But how can we argue, tell me 

B                     C#m           A
How many times can we tell you that we 

                               B   
Are not like you, we see right through 

                                 A
Your poor disguise that fails to fool 

         B                      A
The wary eye that is trained on you

        C#m        E        A                   _
