[Intro]
G Em Bm A x2

[Verse 1]
G                     Em
Your heart is like a fortress
Bm
Keep your feelings locked away
A        G
Is it easier?
 Em                        Bm
Does it make you feel safe?
G                        Em
You wander through the darkness
                           Bm
Of wilderness behind your eyes
G
I know you’re afraid
Em                     Bm
But you gotta move on

[Chorus 1]
         G       Em
Every fortress falls
       Bm       A
It is not the end
         G        Em
It ain't if you fall
            Bm          A           G     Em
But how you rise that says who you really are
A       Bm             D
So get up and come through
                G
If ever your fortress caves
Em
You're always safe

[Verse 2]
G            Em
I believe I know you
Bm                       A    D
Yet, I don't truly know myself
             G             Em             Bm
I pray you won't feel as alone as I have felt
G                 A
I don't want to fail you so
Bm
I tell you the awful truth
   G              Bm    Em
Everyone faces darkness on their own
   A            Bm
As I have done, so will you

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

Am G Bm Em Bm

[Verse 3]
                          C#m
The Earth spins round the sun
     Em
And behold
             Bm
Everything happens
        Bm         D     A         Bm Em
Every night that falls prey to sunrise

Bm A G Em Bm

                    G        Em
If your fortress is under siege
 Bm       A Bm  G       A Em
You can always run for me
Bm       D                 G
If your fortress is under siege
       A       Em   Bm
You can always run

[Chorus 3]
G              Em
Every fortress falls
A      Bm
It is not the end
A         G    Em
It ain't if you fall
  A           Bm        A
But how you rise that says
          G    A
Who you really are
       Bm          D
So get up and go through
F#m              G      D
If ever your fortress caves
Em                     Bm
You're always safe in mine
F#m              G      D
If ever your fortress caves
Em                     Bm
You're always safe in mine
F#m              G      D
If ever your fortress caves
Em                     Bm
You're always safe in mine

The kid who wants some of the pretties in life

The first hands, the back hands, the bruises, the bites

To cruising, the bruises in my car
