[Verse 1]
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
