[Verse 1]
GM                    Em
Your heart is like a fortress
B                          F#
Keep your feelings locked away

       GM          Em
Is it easier?
                      B
Does it make you feel safe?

    GM                  Em
You wander through the darkness
   B                       F#
Of wilderness behind your eyes

        GM             Em
I know you’re afraid

                   B
But you gotta move on

[Chorus 1]
         G       Em
Every fortress falls
       B       F#
It is not the end
          G        Em
It ain't how you fall
            B          F#
But how we rise that says
         GM    AM
Who you really are
       B             D
right :)
So get up and come through
              GM
If ever your fortress caves
       Em
You're always safe

[Verse 2]
GM            Em
I don't even know you
     B                   A         D
Yet, I don't truly know myself, I pray you w-

GM             Em
- On't feel as alone
                 B         F#
As I have fe-elt

GM                 A
I don't want to fail you so
B                    D
I tell you the awful truth
         G             Em
Everyone faces darkness on their own
   A                      B
As I have done, so will you

[Chorus 2]
         G       Em
Every fortress falls
       B       F#
It is not the end
          G        Em
It ain't if you fall
            B          F#
But how we rise that says
         GM    AM
Who you really are
       B             D
So get up and come through
              GM
If ever your fortress caves
       Em             B  B A B B B F# F#
You're always safe in mine

[Pre-Chorus]
    GM                     C#
The Earth spins round the sun
      Em
And behold
             B
Everything happens
       D                AM
Every night that falls prey, to sun -
      G           Em          B           A       D      C#
 -- Rise
      G           Em          B           A         D    C#
                                            If your fort-ress is
      G           Em          B           A         D    C#
     Under siege                            You can all-ways
      G           A           B           D
     Run to me                             If your fort-ress is
      G                      AM           B                         F#
     Under siege,   you can all-ways    run                       Ev-ery
 
[Chorus 3]
 G       Em
Fortress falls
       B       F#
It is not the end
          G        Em
It ain't if you fall
            B          A
But how you rise that says
F#       G    AM
Who you really are
       B             D
So get up and come through
              GM
If ever your fortress caves
       Em             B    B A B   B B B D D
You're always safe in mine
             G
If ever your fortress caves
Em                    B    B A B   B B B D D
You're always safe in mine
