[INTRO]
B  A  E  B 

[VERSE 1]
        B                 A
Are you down, smiling but empty 
            E                   B
Anxious and heavy, alone in the crowd?
                         A
Are you bound, lost in addiction?
                  E                          B
You can’t seem to kick it, well I know a way out
              B  
So, if you’re ready for a breakthrough
            A
There’s one waiting in this place
        E                                B
No more shackles no more shadows no more shame

[CHORUS]
                  B                              A
This is where the walls shake, this is where the ground quakes 
                  E                        B
This will be your jail break, praise opens prisons 
                                                 A
Feels those chains get looser, feel your joy get truer 
           E                   B
Glory hallelujah, praise opens prisons 

[TURN]
B   A   E              B
          Praise opens prisons

[VERSE 2]
       B                       A
I have lived both sides of the story
                E                B
Rock bottom and glory so, I understand 
                                   A
Brother it’s time to lay down your burdens
               E                       B
Sister, you're hurting so lift up your hands

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
        B
Someone shout a hallelujah
        A
Someone lift a song of praise
       E
We can open up the heavens
      B
If we call on Jesus’ name     
And if you’re ready for a breakthrough 
            A 
There’s one waiting in this place
        E                                B
No more shackles no more shadows no more shame

[CHORUS]

[OUTRO]
B   A   E              B
          Praise opens prisons
B   A   E              B
          Praise opens prisons
B                                 A  
  Gonna feel those chains get looser 
                           E                B
Gonna feel your joy get truer, praise opens prisons
                                A  
Gonna feel those chains get looser 
                           E                B
Gonna feel your joy get truer, praise opens prisons
                           A
Sing it louder, louder and louder
        E                    B
Sing it louder, praise opens prisons
                           A
Sing it louder, louder and louder
        E                    B
Sing it louder, praise opens prisons
