The Steam Rises

Intro 

Am F C G 



         Am           F                C 
I take a chance every day against this tide (Ah) 
           Am         F              C 
I know the way to our hearts isn't a lie (Ah) 

            Em                 F           C 
And when it feels impossible I stay just a little while 
    G                   F          C 
And then we'll see that reassuring billowing (Billowing) 




G         F 
The steam rises 
      C 
And I know it's all okay 
    G     F 
The steam rises 
          C                 G 
And we're feeling ourselves again 
G              F 
It's a bold accusation 
                C        G 
To say one will never be ok 
G               F 
'Cause the steam rises 
     C 
Just look I swear you'll see 
    G           F                  C 
The steam still rises from you and me

Am F C G 




              Am            F                     C 
There's not a day that goes by where you leave my mind 
           Am    F                     C 
The boiler in me burns, is yours still alight? (Alight) 
             Em                      F                         C 
And when I'm waiting for you to come back, these pistons still drive me 
      G              F               C 
And I know we'll see that reassuring billowing (Billowing) 



G         F 
The steam rises 
      C 
And I know it's all okay 
G         F 
The steam rises 
          C                  G 
And we're feeling ourselves again 
G                   F 
Try to find the aspiration 
                 C           G 
To say that it's going to be okay 
G                F 
'Cause the steam rises 
     C 
Just look I swear you'll see 
    G     F 
The steam rises 
    G     F 
The steam rises 
            C 
For you and me
