[Verse 1]
[Am]What comes when you
rise from the middle
Then step up [E]and [Am]ride
the comet
What comes [E]when [Am]you[Bdim]
[Am]rise from the middle
Then step up [F]and ride [Am]the
[Asus4]comet[Am]
[F]You've figured out so much up there [G]On

[Verse 2]
[F]
your own now let us step [Am]in
[B]The bot[F#m]tom hal[Ebdim]f that mo[D]ves you round[G]
[C]the[G] wo[Bb]rld[Cdim][Ebdim][D][G][C][G]
The [F]legs and orbit of your dream are vast
You spot it [B]then just watch [Ebdim]it pass[D][G][C][Bb]
[B][Cdim][Ebdim][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[Bb]Psst, psst, down here
[B]We [Cdim]remember
[Ebdim]everything you've come through
[D]And [G]we'[C]re [Bb]readying t[B]o[Cdim]
[Ebdim]rise you[D][G][C][G]
[F]There's a new modality

[Verse 4]
[G]of
[F]love to be dis- [F#dim]covered
[B]What are you waiting for[G]?[C]
[Bb]We're dang[Cdim]led or

[Verse 5]
[Ebdim]crossed
Beneath you [G]like we're [C]worthless
[Bb]While you work away[B]
[Ebdim]We're bent or loc[G]ked still
[C]Listening to [Bb]tapping [B]digits
[Cdim]We too m[Ebdim]ust uphold,
[F]so [G]holy[C]
[Bb]And what's great about
[Cdim]them?
[Ebdim]Everything they've [D]ever carried
They've [G]put down and
[C]left somewhere[Bb][B]
[Cdim]At best to[Ebdim] maybe someday[G]
be [C]re- found[G]

[Verse 6]
[F]We work the largest muscle [G]groups
And [F]come up against sit bones
[B]What [Ebdim]makes you so tir[D]ed?[G]
[Bb]When we're ready[B]ing to
[Ebdim]rise?[D][G][C][Bb][Gm]
[F]Worrying

[Verse 7]
and forgetting [Am]where you
were [G]headed[B][Ebdim][D][G][C][Bb]
[B]Even [Cdim]with your thoughts di[D]stracted,
[G]we'll get [C]there [G]walking

[Verse 8]
[F]We know you and why you never
See us or get to [C]know us[B]
[Ebdim]And on airp[B]lanes we h[D]ave n[G]o space[C][Bb]
Be[B]cause it is presumed we
[Am]have [D]no in[G]sights[C][Gm]
[Bb]Or s[B]enses that contribute to[Am] our
[D]goals[G][C][Gm]

[Verse 9]
[Bb]Our [B]language is the memory
of everywhere [Ebdim]you've been
[D]In [G]use[C]fulness we [Bb]preach
And you [Fm]may refer [Ab]to us [B]whenever you are lost,
[Adim]or stuck
[D]Or doubting [G]will with its [C]brain- based
[Gm]complexities
[F]We've been through it

[Verse 10]
all with you
And do our best to move [B]you
With dual remind[G]ers of [D]your pro[G]gress[Bb]
[B]And [Cdim]how you [Cm]must walk the [D]dis
tance [G]ahead[C][Bb]
[Ab]What you are [Cdim]facing [Adim]now may [D]ap
pear to [G]be more[C]
[Bb]Of the same
[Ab]But [Abm]we are ready[B]ing
to rise [Cm]you[Bb]
[B]To another [Cm]plane [D]of [Gm]ex[Bb]
[Am]ist [F#aug]ence[Bb][Gm]
[Bb][C][G]

[Verse 11]
[C]That com[F#dim]es when[Am]
[G]you rise from [B]the middle
[Adim]Then step up [Am]and r[G]ide the comet
[Am]That comes when [F#dim]you
[G]rise from the middle
[Am]Then step upan[F#dim]
[Am]d ri[G]de the comet
