Facing West - Phoenix

      [Intro]
Am Em F Am Em F


[Verse]
Am                     G
Stumbling through the rubble 
       Em          F
Of the life I had planned
Am             G
Everything I fought for
          Em          F
Burned to dust in my hands 


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                        Em
Lost in the smoke as the embers die
  F                    Dm
I feel the pain but it means I survived


[Chorus]
         F             C
From the ashes I will rise 
     Am                  G
I'll see the world with brand new eyes
         F           C
From my ruins I'll return
     Am                     G
I'll come back stronger my soul still burns
       F        C
Oh it all came down
     Am                G
My castle is shattered on the ground
       F         C
But I won't tap out
                   Am       G
So don't let your guard down

I'm a phoenix now


[Instrumental]
Am Em F Am Em F


[Verse]
Am                  G
Standing still and speechless
        Em          F
As the sparks fade away
     Am                  G
Everything I thought I needed
    Em                        F
Is stone cold and burned to grey 


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                       Em
Starved for breath as it all sinks in
           F                      Dm
I've got nothing to lose let the games begin


[Chorus]
         F             C
From the ashes I will rise 
     Am                  G
I'll see the world with brand new eyes
         F           C
From my ruins I'll return
     Am                     G
I'll come back stronger my soul still burns
       F        C
Oh it all came down
     Am                G
My castle is shattered on the ground
       F         C
But I won't tap out
                   Am       G
So don't let your guard down

I'm a phoenix now


[Instrumental]
Am Em F Am Em F


[Bridge]
         Dm              F  
So I'll gather my broken pieces 
          C           G
and I'll pick up my shards 
          Dm                      F
'Cause I know this heart's still beating
      C                G
Even after its been charred


[Down Chorus]
N.C.
From the ashes I will rise
N.C
I'll see the world with brand new eyes
N.C 
From my ruins I'll return 
N.C
I'll come back stronger


[Chorus]
         F             C
From the ashes I will rise 
     Am                  G
I'll see the world with brand new eyes
         F           C
From my ruins I'll return
     Am                     G
I'll come back stronger my soul still burns
       F        C
Oh it all came down
     Am                G
My castle is shattered on the ground
       F         C
But I won't tap out
                   Am       G
So don't let your guard down
                   Am Em F
I'm a phoenix now
                   Am Em F
I'm a phoenix now


[Outro]
