My Resolve

Bruce Hornsby

key:

F#m A D
F#m A B

[Verse 1]
F#m A      D
Ash plumes rise
   F#m A       B
In electrified skies
F#m A        D
Incandescent light
     B
with flash bolt eyes

    F#m    A     D
And no one knows why

          F#m   A       B
I've been drawn to this life

    F#m A        D
I'm downwind and high
     B            Bsus4 B
On a survival line

[Chorus]
   Dadd9         A/E
In my resolve, I move the rock
   F#m             B
Or maybe fall down trying
   Dadd9      A/E
My ineptitude stares me down
F#m            B
In its face, I cower
  Dadd9         A/E
I try to stand above the fray
F#m              B
Stand apart, not buying
      Dadd9          A/E
And I move on up, up on the hill
   B                 Bsus4 B
To maybe fully flower
  F#m A D
I flower

F#m A B Bsus4 B
F#m A D
B Bsus4 B

[Verse 2]
F#m   A       D
Reach for the heights
         F#m    A      B
And then thrown to the depths
  F#m      A       D
I look for someone wise
            B     Bsus4 B
With a soft caress
       F#m  A      D
Will I find myself alone
F#m       A       B
Repeating numbing tasks
          F#m  A       D
You could help roll it up
                B         Bsus4 B
'Cause I got no backup plan

[Chorus]
   Dadd9         A/E
In my resolve, I move the rock
   F#m             B
Or maybe fall down trying
   Dadd9      A/E
My ineptitude stares me down
F#m            B
In its face, I cower
  Dadd9         A/E
I try to stand above the fray
F#m              B
Stand apart, not buying
      Dadd9          A/E
And I move on up, up on the hill
   B                 Bsus4 B
To maybe fully flower
  F#m A D
I flower

F#m A B Bsus4 B
F#m A D
B Bsus4 B

[Bridge]
F#m     G#m      A        G#m
Move on up and I roll back down
F#m      G#m           A
Crampons broke, no one hears my
B
sound
F#m     G#m              A
Upward, downward for so long
     F#m G#m       A         B
With my resolve, I climb and climb
F#m A D
and I fall

F#m A B

[Chorus]
   Dadd9         A/E
In my resolve, I move the rock
   F#m             B
Or maybe fall down trying
   Dadd9      A/E
My ineptitude stares me down
F#m            B
In its face, I cower
  Dadd9         A/E
I try to stand above the fray
F#m              B
Stand apart, not buying
      Dadd9          A/E
And I move on up, up on the hill
   B                 Bsus4 B
To maybe fully flower
F#m A D
Ash plumes rise

      F#m A        B  Bsus4 B
In an electrified sky
F#m    A     B
Incandescent lights
              B              Bsus4 B
Oh with their flash bolt eyes
     Bsus4 B      Bsus4 B
On a survival line
