Phoenix

Am                            Em 
I am your daughter carved out of 
      Am
your stone
     Am                           
The seed that you dropped, marrow 
Em       Am
of your bone
Am               Em          Am
I am the one who asked no questions
   Am                C          F
Designed to love you unconditional


[Verse 2]

     Am                          
I sprouted my shoots and I waited 
  G         F
for your hands
   Am                              
I laid down my roots but the summer
           F
 came and went
   Am                              
I looked to the sun, longed to feel
       F
 your touch
    Am                 
But you knew nothing of 
 G     C        F
unconditional love


[Chorus]

       C               G      Am 
And I rose up like a phoenix rose
              F
 up from your ash
 C                    G            
You just turned your back and I'll 
Am           F
never understand
  C             G      Am        
Though I had no armor you just 
      F
let me go
C         Am       G            
Into the night to battle with 
            Am
your ghosts


[Verse 3]

Am
If I could go back there I'd be my 
own angel
She won't buy you a mockingbird, 
           F
she's incapable
   Am                              
So hush little baby and close your 
       G
tired eyes
    Am                  G      
There are no answers so hush now 
           F
hushabye


[Chorus]
       C               G      Am 
And I rose up like a phoenix rose
              F
 up from your ash
 C                    G            
You just turned your back and I'll 
Am           F
never understand
  C             G      Am        
Though I had no armor you just 
      F
let me go
C         Am       G
Into the night to battle with your 
ghosts


[Verse 4]
      C              G
So I gathered up my sorrows
       Am              F
And I took them on my tongue
     C                  G
And sang them 'til the morning
          Am               F
When the sun came in so strong
   C                     Am
I sang them 'til the daybreak
                    G
And that's how I became strong
