Verse 1
Waking in the rubble
[Am/C] Walking over glass
Neighbours say we’re trouble
Well that time has passed
Fearing from the mirror
[Am/C] No, that isn’t me
A stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be?
You wouldn’t [Dm/F] know me at all today
From the fading light I fly
Chorus
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution, you were warned
Once I’m transformed, once I’m reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you’re my flame
Verse 2
Go about your business
[Am/C] Act as if you’re free
No one could have witnessed
What you did to me
‘Cause you wouldn’t [Dm/F] know me today
And [Eb/D] you have got to see [Cm/Bb] to believe
From the fading light I fly
Chorus
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution, you were warned
Once I’m transformed, once I’m reborn
Bridge
[Dm/F] I rise up to the sky
You threw me down but I’m gonna fly
Chorus
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution, you were warned
Once I’m transformed, once I’m reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
Outro
But you’re my flame
