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

And behind these walls a coward stands
C
F
With an ego and a broken heart

If I don't get high
Am
I won't get low

Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange

She wants to climb up
Am
But she could fall
Em6

Oh-oh-oh, she said that "I don't change"
G
And I live and die
