Backstory:

Bossy Battle was formed in the summer of 2013 in the bustling city of Chicago. The members of the band, David Whiteside (vocals/guitar), Rachel Borden (bass), Tommy Harkins (drums), and Ellie Swift (keyboard) were friends in college. They discovered their shared love for music and decided to establish their own band, initially performing in small gigs around college campuses. Their big break came in 2015 when a local radio station picked up one of their demo tapes. That exposure sparked widespread interest, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Genre: Indie Rock

Title: “Rising Tides”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Rolling with the [Am] rising tides, [Em] dancing with the [F] moon
[C] Chasing after [Am] wild nights, [Em] into a [F] ballad tune
[C] We’ve been down this [Am] road before, [Em] we’ve seen the [F] morning light
[C] Got nothing [Am] to fear anymore, [Em] we’ll just hold on [F] tight

(Chorus)
[C] We are the [Am] Bossy Battle [Em] in the dark [F] night
[C] Rising with the [Am] tides, we’ll [Em] never lose the [F] fight
[C] With our music [Am] as our guide, [Em] we’ll set the world [F] alight
[C] We are the [Am] Bossy Battle, [Em] we are the [F] light

(Verse 2)
[C] Dancing in the [Am] pouring rain, [Em] living for the [F] thrill
[C] We’ve seen the [Am] joy, we’ve known the [Em] pain, but [F] we’re standing still
[C] We write the [Am] songs of dreams and [Em] love, of heartbreak [F] and loss
[C] With our music [Am] we’ll rise above, [Em] no matter the [F] cost

(Chorus)
[C] We are the [Am] Bossy Battle [Em] in the wild [F] night
[C] Rising with the [Am] tides, we’ll [Em] never lose the [F] fight
[C] With our music [Am] as our guide, [Em] we’ll set the world [F] alight
[C] We are the [Am] Bossy Battle, [Em] we are the [F] light
