D# Cm When I built these walls with bricks and stones D# Cm I built them all around D# Cm I built these walls a long time ago D# Cm She ain't gonna take 'em down D# Cm No, she ain't gonna break 'em down I built these walls with my two hands I laid every single part And behind these walls a coward stands With an ego and a broken heart An ego and a broken heart Chorus: G# D# Oh-oh-oh-oh, she comes around A# See if I don't get lost Cm I won't get found G# D# Oh-oh-oh, and turn it 'round A# See if I don't go up Cm A# I won't come down Cm I won't come down Well I built these walls around my chest I built them thick and strong Oh, and she can try her very best But they've been here for too long For long ago there was a girl That stood there where she stands And she reached right in and took my heart And broke it in her hands Oh, she broke it in her hands Chorus: G# D# Oh-oh-oh-oh, and I suppose A# If there's no rain clouds Cm Nothing grows G# D# Oh-oh-oh, but this I know A# If I don't get high Cm I won't get low G# D# Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange A# She wants to climb up Cm But she could fall G# D# Oh-oh-oh, she said, "I don't change" A# And I live and die Cm A# Behind these walls Cm A# Behind these walls Cm A# Behind these walls | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA# Cm D# G# |
