G         C               Bm     D7
Mother, just lay your head down
G                                      C                 Bm      D7       
You've been burning both ends of the candle and you're done
G                        C               Bm              D7  
It's time to find your wings 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

[Verse 2]
G              C               Bm           D7
Oh, brother, your hands are tired
G                C                   Bm                  D7
You've been holding the world up and you're losing your grip
G                     C              Bm                     D7
If you knew now what you knew then, maybe you'd be whole again
G                      C          Bm     D7
But everyone falls down

[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                      D7
Was waiting there inside your 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
