Phoenix Chords by Juliet Simms

[INTRO]
E 

[VERSE 1]
C#m     E     A  E A                 E
I’m not as perfect as I know I can be
             A   E A                          E
I've been deserted and I’ve been cast out to sea
                                                     A    E
What can you do? When the world seems to be laughing at you
E
What can you do? when the world is looking down on you

[PRE-CHORUS]
     A                                          E      D
It’s a long way down when you're headed for the bottom
          C                                   Bm
And I can see it now, I just had to hit the ground

[CHORUS]
E                 Bm
From the ashes, I rise
                  A
I’m coming back alive
                        G          E                
Like a phoenix, I’m just waiting to die
                      Bm
I’ll be a halo in the sky
                    A
I’m Learning how to fly
                        G          E    G            E
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die, waiting to die

[VERSE 2]
               Bm     A E A 
I can’t lift my head up, it’s like I'm dying inside
                     E 
I’m dying inside and I’m so scared
                   A   E 
Maybe I’m such a loser
A             E                   A  E
I’m pulling it out pulling it out my hair
                 F#           A                      E
What's a girl to do? When her reflection is the ugly truth
                 F#           A                      E
What's a girl to do? When her song is someone else’s tattoo

[PRE-CHORUS]
C#m    A                                        E      D
It’s a long way down when you're headed for the bottom
          C                                   Bm
And I can see it now, I just had to hit the ground

[CHORUS] 
E                 Bm
From the ashes, I rise
                 A
I’m coming back alive
                        G          E
Like a phoenix, I’m just waiting to die
                      Bm
I’ll be a halo in the sky
                    A
I’m Learning how to fly
                        G          E    G          E
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die, waiting to die

[BRIDGE]
C               D
Standing on the edge
                    C
Looking towards the sun
                    D
If I let go, I know I can be beautiful
C               D
Standing on the edge
                    C
Looking towards the sun
               D
If I let go, I know I can be beautiful

[CHORUS]
E                 Bm
From the ashes, I rise
                 A
I’m coming back alive
                        G          E
Like a phoenix, I’m just waiting to die
                      Bm
I’ll be a halo in the sky
                    A
I’m Learning how to fly
                        G          E    G          E
Like a phoenix I’m just waiting to die, waiting to die
G          E    G          E
Waiting to die, waiting to die
