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

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

[Verse 2]
G               E
I believe I know you
     B                    D/A
Yet, I don't truly know myself
                G             E              Bm
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              E
Everyone faces darkness on their own
   A
As I have done, so will you
B F#    G        E
  Every fortress falls

[Chorus]
      B       D/A
It is not the end
         G      E
It ain't if you fall
            B         D/A
But how you rise that says
        G      E
Who you really are
       B           D
So get up and come through
                 G
If ever your fortress caves
         E                B F#
You're always safe in mine

[Bridge 1]
G D/F# E
B6/D#         Bm/D                    C#m7
     The Earth    spins 'round the sun
          Em
And behold
              B/D#
Everything happens
           Bm/D          A          G
Every night    falls prey to sunrise

A B D                    G
     If your fortress is under siege
          A
You can always run
B F#    G        E
  Every fortress falls

[Chorus]
      B       D/A
It is not the end
         G      E
It ain't if you fall
            B         D/A
But how you rise that says
        G      E
Who you really are
       B           D
So get up and come through
                 G
If ever your fortress caves
         E                B
You're always safe in mine
   F#            G
If ever your fortress caves
         E                B
You're always safe in mine
   F#            G
If ever your fortress caves
         E                B
You're always safe in mine

Come  on through
