A#
Well you can stand there waiting
for a rainy day
Gm
Close up your heart and hide your
dancing shoes away
    D#
And cut yourself with your mistakes
 A#
Leave all hope lying in a line of chalk
Gm
Everything you need is disguised in double talk
D#
So wound yourself and let it ache
F
But if you're waiting for something
to bring you round

Chorus:
A#             Gm
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
D#
Lift your head up high
A#             Gm
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
D#                 F
Lift your head up high

It's all little pieces till
there's nothing left
All just debris of your former self
Just take a breath for your own sake
And if you're waiting for
something to bring you 'round

Chorus

             D#                 F
And are you caught between the lines
           D#              F
Did no one see you fall behind

Chorus:
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
So lift your head up,
yeah lift your head up high
Yeah lift your head up,
go and lift your head up high
I'm always by your side
Yeah lift your head up,
go and lift your head up high
I'm always by your side
Yeah lift your head up,
go and lift your head up high
