  			 A                                  
Well you can stand there waiting for a rainy day 
 F#m 
Close up your heart and hide your dancing shoes away 
 D 
And cut yourself with your mistakes 

 A 
Leave all hope lying in a line of chalk 
 F#m 
Everything you need is disguised in double talk 
 D 
So wound yourself and let it ache 


 E 
But if you're waiting for something to bring you round 
 A                F#m    
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name 
 D 
Lift your head up high 
 A                F#m 
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name 
 D                E 
Lift your head up high 


 A 
It's all little pieces till there's nothing left 
 F#m 
All just debris of your former self 
 D 
Just take a breath for your own sake 
 E 
And if you're watching for something to bring you round 


 A                F#m 
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name 
 D 
Lift your head up high 
 A                F#m 
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name 
 D                 
Lift your head up high 


             F#m               E  
And are you caught between the lines 
           D            E   
Did no one see you fall behind 


 A               F#m 
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name 
    A                       F#m 
So lift your head up, yeah lift your head up high 
    A                       F#m 
Yeah lift your head up, yeah lift your head up high 
   D 
I'm always by your side 
    A                       F#m  
Yeah lift your head up, yeah lift your head up high 
   D 
I'm always by your side 
    A                       F#m  
Yeah lift your head up, yeah lift your head up high
