Fortress

	  		
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 

 
         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 


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 

 
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
