Rise Against – Midnight Hands chords

[Intro]

C#m

 

[Verse 1]

C#m

Like a new day rising, like a calm before the storm,

C#m

Like fog lifting from valleys on a sleeping forest floor,

C#m

Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off,

C#m

To gaze upon the wreckage that the midnight hands have wrought.

 

[Pre-Chorus]

           A                           B

And now I, I feel my temperature rising,

               C#m

My body explode.

A                          B

I feel like somebody's watching,

                  F#m

Like I'm not alone.

             E           B

I stopped, I vowed right then and said:

 

[Chorus]

C#m                    A

Whatever path you take (the path you take),

E                     B

Wherever you might go (where you might go),

C#m              A

Whenever you decide to leave,

       E              F#m    C#m

I will follow, I will follow.

 

[Verse 2]

C#m

We face a crossroad never knowing what's in store,

C#m

There's an angel on my shoulder,

C#m

There's a devil at my door.

C#m

She proclaimed, "Tonight will be the greatest of our lives",

C#m                                                      B

And I said, "Don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning light".

 

[Pre-Chorus]

A                           B

I feel my temperature rising,

               C#m

My body explode.

A                          B

I feel like somebody's watching,

                  F#m

Like I'm not alone.

             E           B

I stopped, I vowed right then and said:

 

[Chorus]

C#m                    A

Whatever path you take (the path you take),

E                     B

Wherever you might go (where you might go),

C#m              A

Whenever you decide to leave,

       E              B       A G#m C#m E F#m C#m

I will follow, I will follow.

 

[Bridge]

C#m                  E

There in the clearing we gathered close,

B                            F#m

Under the moon's pale light, we laid out the tools.

C#m                                     B

"You don't have to do this, but I forgive you if you don't",

A                                F#m   E F#m E B

She just looked away and said "I know."

 

[Breakdown]

C#m

Gripped by the midnight hands,

A                 B

We cradle futures they would prevent,

C#m                     A

Gripped by the midnight hands.

A

The line's crossed over,

B

The dawn grows closer,

C#m

Let's bite off too much,

C#m

Let's jump with a blind trust,

   A             B

In water over our heads.

 

[Chorus]

C#m                    A

Whatever path you take,

E                     B

Wherever you might go,

C#m              A

Whenever you decide to leave,

       E              B       F#m C#m E F#m G#m A

I will follow, I will follow.

 

[Chorus 2]

        C#m                        A

I won't bet on the falls you take (the falls you take)

        E             B

I won't let go if you start to stray,

        C#m                        A

I'll be there until you don't wake up, yeah,

       E              F#m

I will follow, I will follow I will follow.

 

[Outro]

C#m                      A

(Whatever path you take) I will follow

E                       B

(Wherever you might go) I will follow

C#m                     A                 E  F#m C#m E F#m G#m A

(Whenever you decide to leave) I will follow.
