[Verse 1] C Em Am
When I built these walls with bricks and stones
C Em Am
I built them all around
C Em Am
I built these walls a long time ago
C Em Am
She ain't gonna take 'em down
C Em Am
No, she ain't gonna break 'em down
C Em Am (x2)
[Verse 2] C Em Am
I built these walls with my two hands
C Em Am
I laid every single part
C Em Am
And behind these walls a coward stands
C Em Am
An ego and a broken heart
C Em Am
An ego and a broken heart
[Chorus 1]F C
Oh-oh-oh-oh, she comes around
G
See if I don't get lost
Am
I won't get found
F C
Oh-oh-oh, and turn it 'round
G
See if I don't go up
Am G
I won't come down
Am
I won't come down
C Em Am (x4)
[Verse 3] C Em Am
When I built these walls around my chest
C Em Am
I built them thick and strong
C Em Am
Oh, and she can try her very best
C Em Am
But they've been here for too long
C Em Am
For long ago there was a girl
C Em Am
That stood there where she stands
C Em Am
But she reached right in into my heart
C Em Am
And broke it in her hands
C Em Am
Oh, she broke it in her hands
[Chorus 2]F C
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and I suppose
G
If there's no rain clouds
Am
Nothing grows
F C
Oh-oh-oh, but this I know
G
If I don't get high
Am
I won't get low
F C
Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange
G
She wants to climb up
Am
But she could fall
F C
Oh-oh-oh, she said, "I don't change"
G
And I live and die
Am G
Behind these walls
Am G
Behind these walls
Am G
Behind these walls
C Em Am C G Am (x2)
