   E                     C#m
I want to be alone for a while
  F#m                       A B
I want earth to breathe to me
   E                 C#m
I want the waves to grow loud
  F#m                    A  B
I want the sun to bleed down
          E   Amaj7
to bleed down

F#m      B        E  Amaj7
see the waves go down
F#m      B        E Amaj7
see the moon alone
F#m      B        E  Amaj7
see the world unshown
F#m         B
I raise my head and whisper

Chorus:
 E       Amaj7 F#m
Rise and shine
           B
Rise and shine my sister
 E       Amaj7 F#m
Rise and shine
           B
Rise and shine my sister
 E       Amaj7  F#m
Rise and shine
           B
Rise and shine my sister
 E       Amaj7  F#m
Rise and shine
           B
Rise and shine my sister

I want to see the wounded moon
I want the sea to break through
I want it all to be gone tomorrow
So I've come to say goodbye

To say goodbye
See the waves go down
See the moon alone
I raise my head and whisper

Chorus:
Rise and shine (rise and shine)
Rise and shine, my sister
Rise and shine (rise and shine)
Rise and shine, my sister
Rise and shine (rise and shine)
Rise and shine, my sister
Rise and shine (rise and shine)
Rise and shine

Rise and shine
Rise and shine
Rise and shine
