Queens of the Stone Age Fortress Lyrics

Em (open chord)

M
Your heart is like a fortress
Keep your feelings locked away
M
Is it easier?
Does it make you feel safe?
M
You wander through the darkness
Of wilderness behind your eyes
M
I know you??re afraid
But you gotta move on
horus 1
Every fortress falls
It is not the end
It ain't how you fall
But how we rise that says
M M
Who you really are
right :)
So get up and come through
M
If ever your fortress caves
You're always safe
M
I don't even know you
Yet, I don't truly know myself, I pray you w-
M
- On't feel as alone
As I have fe-elt
M
I don't want to fail you so
I tell you the awful truth
Everyone faces darkness on their own
As I have done, so will you
horus 2
Every fortress falls
It is not the end
It ain't if you fall
But how we rise that says
M M
Who you really are
So get up and come through
M
If ever your fortress caves
You're always safe in mine

Pre-horus
M
The Earth spins round the sun
And behold
Everything happens
M
Every night that falls prey, to sun -

If your fort-ress is
Under siege You can all-ways
Run to me If your fort-ress is
M
Under siege, you can all-ways run Ev-ery

Fortress falls
It is not the end
It ain't if you fall
But how you rise that says

You're always safe in mine
If ever your fortress caves
You're always safe in mine
Come on throooooooooo-oooooooooo-oooooooogh
