Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Bat[D]ter[A]ed by the winds in[C][G]
this desolate [C]place
I'm drivin' [D]against [A]the ice
that whips across my face
When all of [C]the howling
[G]screams sent my [C]way
Let [D]me know [A]that things will
be better one day
Well, paradise [C]lost [G]paradise
never [C]was
Whoa, I'm [D]all [A]alone on this land
of forgotten souls
How [C]can [G]it have possibly
come to [C]this?
The struggle to [D]survive[A]
winter's frozen [Em]kiss
Oh, [G]things have got [A]to change
[Em]Well, I said[G] things have
got [A]to change[Em]
Oh, we need [G]to make
[A]a change[Em]
Well, won't you [G]help me
make [A]a change?
I'm a [C]phoenix [G]flyin' high
[C]Iron fists won't [D]hold me [A]down,
I'm soarin' far and wide
Look [C]at yourselves, [G]oh,
blinded by [C]my light
Well, out of [D]the ashes,
[A]watch my flame burn bright
I'm a [C]phoenix [G]flyin' high
[C]Iron fists won't [D]hold me [A]down,
I'm soarin' far and wide
Well, look [C]at yourselves,
[G]blinded by my lig[C]ht
Well, I'm a phoenix [D]flyin' [A]high,
I know I'll [Am]be alr[A]ight[Bb]
Fallen, broken, and [Am]beaten
Well, [G]but I'm strong when
I'm not [Bb]defeated
Holdin' out for the fu[Am]ture
Well, [G]nothin' dries sooner than [Bb]tears
Fallen, broken, and [Am]beaten
Well, [G]but I'm strong,
and I'm not [Bb]defeated
Holdin' out for the fu[Am]ture
Well, [G]nothin' dries sooner than [A]tears
I'm a [C]phoenix [G]flyin' high
[C]Iron fists won't [D]hold me [A]down,
I'm soarin' far and wide
Look [C]at yourselves, [G]oh,
blinded by my [C]light
Out of [D]the ashes,
[A]watch my flame burn bright (oh)
[C]I'm a phoenix [G]flyin' high
[C]Iron fists won't [D]hold [A]me down,
I'm soarin' far and wide
Look [C]at yourselves, [G]oh,
blinded by my [C]light
Well, I'm a phoenix [D]flyin' [A]high,
I know I'll be al[Am]right
[A]Oh,[Em] things h[G]ave
got [A]to [Em]change
Well, I said [G]things have
got to [A]change[Em]
Oh, we [G]need to make [A]a c[Em]hange
[G]Won't you help me make [A]a change?
