F#              C#m E B     F#            C#m E B
Can you lift me up     to a higher place?
Forget everything that was before
Turn your face around like a salted sphere
Turn yourself around to see what once was there

Chorus:
F#                    C#m
Everything that rises must converge
E                     B
Everything that rises in a word
F#                    C#m
Everything that rises must converge
E                    B
Everything that rises

Jesus lift me up to a higher plane
(To a higher plane)
Can you come around before I go insane?
(Before I go insane)
Cast me not in hell, where the demons rage
(While my demons rage)
Turn yourself around to see what I can say
(To see what I can say)

Chorus

Turn yourself away from the wickedness I said
Evil comes to play in the image of the dead

Chorus:
Everything rises must converge
Everything rises in a word
Everything rises must converge
Everything rises

Everything rises (Everything rises)
Everything rises (Everything rises)
Everything rises (Everything rises)
Everything rises
