[D] [Bb]
[D] If you prick us, [Bm] don't it sting?
[D] If you kick us, won't it hurt?
[E]
I am wrapped in [D] scraps of linen, [G] pieces of people's [A] old shirts
[D] But way, way [Bm] underneath [D] all these sticky bands
I hold all my dreams right here in [A] my hands
I [Bm] will rise from [D] the tomb, [A]
[B] like an if [E] [Bm] emerging from [G] the water
[D] [Bm] [Gm] [D]
[Gm] [D] [G] [Am] I [D] spent several thousand [Bm] years [G] down here all [D] alone
No way to stand [G] the lonely old ache in [A] my bones
[D] Say the spell three [Bm] times, [G] crank [D] up the special effects
I'm gonna [G] cast [D] off all my bandages and see what [A] happens next
I [B] will rise, [D] fully formed, [Em] like an infant, freshly [G] born
I've been trapped [D] too long [C] underneath [G] the ground
In the [D] hollow darkness, [G] ain't no grave gonna hold [C] my body [Bm] down
I will push [D] my hand up through the earth
And [Em] I will rise, like the cry [G] of an infant [A] at its birth
