[Intro] G Em B A x2 [Verse 1]
G                     Em
Your heart is like a fortress

B                          A
Keep your feelings locked away

        G
Is it easier?

 Em                   B         A
Does it make you feel safe?

G                        Em
You wander through the darkness

   B                       A
Of wilderness behind your eyes

         G
I know you’re afraid

Em                  B
But you gotta move on
[Chorus 1]
         G       Em
Every fortress falls

       B       A
It is not the end

         G        A
It ain't if you fall

            B          A           G      Em
But how you rise that says who you really are

A       B             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

B                          A     
Yet, I don't truly know myself

  D        G             Em             B      F#m
I pray you won't feel as alone as I have felt

G                 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              A
Every fortress falls

A      B
It is not the end

A         G      Em
It ain't if you fall

  A           B        A
But how you rise that says

          G    A
Who you really are

       B          D
So get up and go through

F#m              G      D
If ever your fortress caves

Em                     B
You're always safe in mine
Am G B Em B [Verse 3]
    D                      C#m
The Earth spins round the sun

     Em
And behold

             E
Everything happens

        B         D     A         B Em
Every night that falls prey to sunrise
G Em B A
                    G        Em
If your fortress is under siege

 B       A B  G       A Em
You can always run for me

B      D                 G
If your fortress is under siege

       A       Em   B
You can always run
[Chorus 3]
G              Em
Every fortress falls

A      B
It is not the end

A         G    Em
It ain't if you fall

  A           B       A
But how you rise that says

          G    A
Who you really are

       B         D
So get up and go through

F#m              G      D
If ever your fortress caves

Em                     B
You're always safe in mine

F#m              G      D
If ever your fortress caves

Em                     B
You're always safe in mine

F#m              G      D
If ever your fortress caves

Em                     B
You're always safe in mine
