Queens of the Stone Age - Fortress

      [Intro]
F Dm A G x2

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

[Chorus 1]
        F       Dm
Every fortress falls
       A       G
It is not the end
         F        Dm
It ain't if you fall
            A          G            F     Dm
But how you rise that says who you really are
       A              G
So get up and come through
               F
If ever your fortress caves
     Dm               A
You're always safe

[Verse 2]
F            Dm
I believe I know you
    A                      G
Yet, I don't truly know myself
           F             Dm         A           G
I pray you won't feel as alone as I have felt
   F                     Dm
I don't want to fail you so
 A                      G
I tell you the awful truth
        F               Dm
Everyone faces darkness on their own
A                        G
As I have done, so will you


[Chorus 2]
        F       Dm
Every fortress falls
       A       G
It is not the end
         F        Dm
It ain't if you fall
            A          G            F     Dm
But how you rise that says who you really are
       A              G
So get up and come through
               F
If ever your fortress caves
     Dm               A
You're always safe in mine

A A F Em Dm F#m

[Verse 3]
    F                      Em
The Earth spins round the sun
      Dm
And behold
             A
Everything happens
       F          Em     A         F  Dm
Every night that falls prey to sunrise

A G F Dm x2
A G
                    F           Dm
If your fortress is under siege
                A               G
You can always run for me
                    F           Dm
If your fortress is under siege
                A               G
You can always run

[Chorus 3]
       F        Dm
Every fortress falls
       A       G
It is not the end
         F       Dm
It ain't if you fall
             A         G
But how you rise that says
          F     Dm
Who you really are
       A            G
So get up and go through
              F
If ever your fortress caves
       Dm              A
You're always safe in mine
              F
If ever your fortress caves
        Dm             A
You're always safe in mine
              F
If ever your fortress caves
        Dm             A
You're always safe in mine
