FF A augmentedA A minorAm
C majorC G+G
When I built these walls with bricks and stones
C majorC FF
I built them all around
C majorC G+G
I built these walls a long time ago
C majorC FF
She ain't gonna take 'em down
C majorC FF
No, she ain't gonna break 'em down
C majorC G+G
I built these walls with my two hands
C majorC FF
I laid every single part
C majorC G+G
And behind these walls a coward stands
C majorC FF
With an ego and a broken heart
C majorC FF
An ego and a broken heart
Em6Em6 C/EC/E
Oh-oh-oh-oh, she comes around
G+G
Said if I don't get lost
A minorAm
I won't get found
Em6Em6 C/EC/E
Oh-oh-oh, and turn it 'round
G+G
Said if I don't go up
A minorAm
I won't come down
E minorEm
I won't come down
C majorC G+G
When I built these walls around my chest
C majorC FF
I built them thick and strong
C majorC G+G
Oh, and she can try her very best
C majorC FF
But they've been here for too long
C majorC G+G
For long ago there was a girl
C majorC FF
That stood there where she stands
C majorC G+G
But she reached right in into my heart
C majorC FF
And broke it in her hands
C majorC FF
Oh, she broke it in her hands
Em6Em6 C/EC/E
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and I suppose
G+G
If there's no rain clouds
A minorAm
Nothing grows
Em6Em6 C/EC/E
Oh-oh-oh, but this I know
G+G
If I don't get high
A minorAm
I won't get low
Em6Em6 C majorC E MajorE
Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange
G+G
She wants to climb up
A minorAm
But she could fall
Em6Em6 C majorC E MajorE
Oh-oh-oh, she said that "I don't change"
G+G
And I live and die
E MajorE A minorAm
Behind these walls
E MajorE A minorAm
Behind these walls
E MajorE A minorAm
Behind these walls
