       C                      G
When I built these walls with bricks and stones
  C               F
I built them all around
  C                   G
I built these walls a long time ago
    C                    F
She ain't gonna take 'em down
        C                     F
No, she ain't gonna break 'em down
  C                      G
I built these walls with my two hands
 C                      F
I laid every single part
      C                  G
And behind these walls a coward stands
        C                F
With an ego and a broken heart
  C                 F
An ego and a broken heart

Em6                          C/E
Oh-oh-oh-oh, she comes around
                        G
Said if I don't get lost
                 Am
I won't get found
Em6                         C/E
Oh-oh-oh, and turn it 'round
                     G
Said if I don't go up
                 Am
I won't come down
                 Em
I won't come down

       C                  G
When I built these walls around my chest
  C                    F
I built them thick and strong
        C                    G
Oh, and she can try her very best
            C                 F
But they've been here for too long
    C                    G
For long ago there was a girl
     C                     F
That stood there where she stands
        C                  G
But she reached right in into my heart
    C               F
And broke it in her hands
    C                   F
Oh, she broke it in her hands

Em6                       C/E
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and I suppose
                         G
If there's no rain clouds
             Am
Nothing grows
Em6                      C/E
Oh-oh-oh, but this I know
                   G
If I don't get high
               Am
I won't get low
Em6                             C E
Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange
             G
She wants to climb up
                  Am
But she could fall
Em6                        C E
Oh-oh-oh, she said that "I don't change"
                  G
And I live and die
E                 Am
Behind these walls
E                 Am
Behind these walls
E                 Am
Behind these walls
