Phoenix

G         C               Bm     D7
Mother, just lay your head down
G                                 
You've been burning both ends of 
     C                 Bm      D7
the candle and you're done
G                        C       
It's time to find your wings 
        Bm              D7
again and turn your face towards the
 sun
G      C               Bm        D7
Some battles can't be won

[Chorus]
G
Like a phoenix
C         Bm       D7
Rising from the ashes
G
Like a phoenix
C         Bm       D7
Rising from the flame

[Post-Chorus]
G                 C
You're gonna be alright
Bm                D7
You're gonna be alright
G                 C       Bm    D7
You're gonna be alright again

Oh, brother, your hands are 
Bm           D7
tired
G                C               
You've been holding the world up 
    Bm                  D7
and you're losing your grip
G                     C          
If you knew now what you knew 
    Bm                     D7
then, maybe you'd be whole again
G                      C          
But everyone falls down
Bm     D7


[Chorus]
G
Like a phoenix
C         Bm       D7
Rising from the ashes
G
Like a phoenix
C         Bm       D7
Rising from the flame

[Post-Chorus]
G                 C
You're gonna be alright
Bm                D7
You're gonna be alright
G                 C       Bm    D7
You're gonna be alright again

[Bridge]
G                           C
You built a castle in the clouds
Bm
But then the fire burned it down
D7
You're still standing anyway
G
A ll you needed from the start
C                            Bm  
Was waiting there inside your 
                    D7
heart to be born again

[Chorus]
G
Like a phoenix
C         Bm       D7
Rising from the ashes
G
Like a phoenix
C         Bm       D7
Rising from the flame
G
You're gonna be alright again
C         Bm       D7
You're gonna be alright
G
You're gonna be alright
C         Bm       D7
You're gonna be alright again
