Chords for Craig David - Rise and Fall Live Acoustic @ Lounge

_ [Cm] I deal the cards [A#] as a meditation, _ [G#] yeah
_ And those [Cm] I play [A#m] never _ suspect, oh
[C#] I don't play for money, [G#] all the money I [C] can win
[C#] I [A#m] just play [Fm] for the _ respect Check
I [Cm] always said that [C#] I was gonna [A#] make it
And I was playing [A] for everyone to [C#] see
[Cm] But this game I'm in don't [A#m] take no prisoners, just [C] casualties
[Fm] _ _ [Cm] I know that everything is gonna [A#m] change
[F] Even the friends I knew before [C#] me go
But this [Cm] dream is [A#] the life I've been [C] searching [Fm] for
[Cm] Started believing that I was [A#m] the greatest
[C] My life was never gonna [C#] be the same
[Cm] Cause with the money came [A#] a different status
[F] That's when things [Fm] change
[Cm] Now I'm too concerned with all the [A#m] things I own
Blinded by all the pretty [C#] girls I see
I'm [Cm] beginning to [F] lose my integrity
[Fm] Sometimes in [Cm] life you feel the [A#m] fight is over, over
[C#] And it seems as though [Cm] the writing's [A#m] on the wall, yeah
_ [Fm] Superstar, you [Cm] finally made it
But once [A#m] your picture [F] becomes tainted
It's [C#] what they _ [Cm] call the [A#m] rise and _ fall, yeah
[Fm] _ [Cm] I never used to be a [A#m] troublemaker
[F] Now I don't even wanna [C#] please the fans
[Cm] No autographs, no interviews, no [A#] pictures
Enlisted _
[Fm] _ men's [Cm] giving the advice that were [A#m] clearly wrong
[F] The types that seem to make me feel [C#] so right
But [Cm] some things you [A#] may find can take over [Fm] your life
Burned [Cm] all my bridges, now I've [A#m] run out of places
And there's no one left for [C#] me to turn
[Cm] Been caught in compromising [A#] situations
I should have [Fm] _ learned
[Cm] From all those times I didn't walk [A#m] away
When I knew that [C] it was best [C#] to go
Is [Cm] it too late [A#m] to show [Fm] you the shape of my heart?
[Cm] You feel the [A#m] fight is over, [F] over
[C#] And it seems as [Cm] though the writing's [A#] on the [F] wall, yeah
_ [Fm] Superstar, you [Cm] finally made it
[A#m] But once your picture [F] becomes tainted
It's what [C#] they [Cm] call the [A#] rise and _ fall, yeah
[C#] _ [Fm] Now I know [Cm] I made mistakes
[A#m] Think I don't care, [G#] but you don't realize what this means [C#] to me
So let me have [A#] just one [G#] more chance
[C] _ [A#m] I'm not the man I used [D#] to be, [E] used to [A] _
be
[C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [C#m] _ The [B] _
writing's on [F#m] the [C#m] wall, ooh
[Bm] _ Oh yeah, [D] it's what they [C#m] call the [B] rise and [F#] fall _
[F#m] Sometimes in life [C#m] you feel the [Bm] fight is over _
_ [G] And it [D] seems as though [C#m] the writing's on [F#] the wall
_ _ [F#m] _ Superstar, you [C#m] finally made it
But once your [Bm] picture [F#] becomes tainted
It's [D] what they [C#m] call the _ [B] rise [F#] and fall, the [F#m] rise and [C#m] fall, yeah
[Bm] Oh girl, those who speak [F#m] know [D] nothing _
