Am
The looking glass, so shiny and new
G
How quickly the glamor fades
Am
I start spinning slipping out of time
G
Was that the wrong pill to take (Raise it up)
You made a deal, and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough
(Raise it up, raise it up)
It's not enough
(Raise it up, raise it up)
Am G
Here I am, a rabbit hearted girl
Dm7
Frozen in the headlights
Am G
It seems I've made the final sacrifice
Am G Am
We raise it up, this offering}
G
We raise it up
Dm F
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Am G
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Dm F
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
Am G
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
Am
I look around, but I can't find you
G
(raise it up)
If only I could see your face
Am
(raise it up)
Instead of rushing towards the skyline
G
(raise it up)
I wish that I could just be brave
Am G
I must become a lion hearted girl
Dm7
Ready for a fight
Am G
Before I make the final sacrifice
Am G
We raise it up, this offering
Am
We raise it up
Am
Raise it up, raise it up
(repeat)
Bridge
Am G
And in the spring I shed my skin
Am G
And it blows away with the changing wind
Am G
The waters turn from blue to red
Am G
As towards the sky I offer it
Chorus x2
Am
This is a gift
