Am         C
    I am a wreck
       F
I am a slave
           C
There is a curtain
               Am
That keeps me away
            C
All of that time
          F
I was the stage
               C
With you on my back   and stop


[Pre-Chorus]
        Am              C              F    C
But you can't take this song away from me
       Am              C              F    C
No you can't take this song away from me


[Verse 2]
Am               C
  My eyes become dry
             F
I'm crying a month
               C
The deeper the well
             Am
The more I become
              C
You toss me aside
               F
You need a new drug
              C
But I was the only thing stable


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am              C              F    C
You can't take this song away from me
       Am              C              F
No you can't take this song away from me


[Chorus]
N.C.         Am   C
For I am the Phoenix
              F  C
Rise from the ashes
         Am   C
I am the Phoenix
              F   C
Rise from the darkness


[Verse 2]
Am            C
  Deep in the dark
         F
I find relief
      C                  Am
Debilitated by all of my grief
              C
My hand on my heart
             F
I roll up my sleeve
                C
I rise from the dead and the ashes



[Pre-Chorus]
    Am              C              F    C
You can't take this song away from me
       Am              C              F
No you can't take this song away from me


[Chorus]
N.C.         Am   C
For I am the Phoenix
              F  C
Rise from the ashes
         Am   C
I am the Phoenix
              F   C
Rise from the darkness

    Am         C               F                C
And out of the fire I'll rise again (I'll rise again)
            Am   C
For I'm the Phoenix
              F  C
Rise from the ashes


[Interlude]
Am  C  F  C


[Bridge]
Am        C
  I am no longer the victim
    F               C
And you, you are no longer responsible
Am      C
I am no longer the servant
    F                    C
And you are no longer my master
    Am      C
And I am no longer the apple
    F          C  N.C.
And you are no longer the snake


[Chorus]
N.C.         Am   C
For I am the Phoenix
              F  C
Rise from the ashes
         Am   C
I am the Phoenix
              F   C
Rise from the darkness

    Am         C               F                C
And out of the fire I'll rise again (I'll rise again)
             Am   C
For I am the Phoenix
              F  C
Rise from the ashes


[Outro]
Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F  C
