Empire chords by Asking Alexandria

Intro:
E A

Verse:
E
They tell me life is short
In the blink of an eye we come and die
A               E
Keep it in mind that life is war
E
Stay grounded, fly and soar
Always know what you fighting for
E
Aging fast, gotta pave a path and go figure out what my life is for
D           E
Quick-witted, and everyday I gotta switch lanes
F#m                       E
Fuck race, no pigment, I got thick skin, making big waves
D        E
Positive being positive is my legacy
           F#m
Pray for me or make way for me
                A
Because I'm setting out to go change the Earth and I just may
D               E
My life is was I call it, and I call it successful
   F#m
Now everybody wanna eyeball it
Like "How the fuck he do that though?"
D

Take pride in your every action
E
Everyday of my life is work
F#m
And they tell me that time is money
     A
But only I know what that time is worth

Chorus:
 D     F#m        E A
Even if the sky was falling down
D      F#m       E        A
Even if the sky was falling, I'm not falling down
     D
I stand tall through it all
   F#m        E       A
I've risked too much to just give up now
         D   F#m E A
I'm pushing on through
       D     F#m  E
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
A     D       F#m     E
I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky
     D   F#m     E       A
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
 D      F#m   E
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground

Verse:
E
Life inside a piece of paper, live it through my pen and pad
Lead inside my pencil like the hammer on my pistol back
There ain't no hitting back
Life it ain't no tennis match
F#m          C#m           D
All over the net but that ain't where I do business at
         E
Face to face with adversity and intimidation
F#m          C#m      D
This is real, this is raw, ain't no imitation
   E              F#m
No limitations ain't a ceiling in sight
There ain't no rules or regulations either yield or you fight
       D                E
Just take a look at where I been that's some appealing advice
       F#m               A
Cause you can build until it falls or keep it real and you rise

Chorus:
 D     F#m        E A
Even if the sky was falling down
D      F#m       E        A
Even if the sky was falling, I'm not falling down
     D
I stand tall through it all
   F#m        E       A
I've risked too much to just give up now
         D   F#m E A
I'm pushing on through
       D     F#m  E
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
A     D       F#m     E
I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky
     D   F#m     E       A
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
 D      F#m   E
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
