G#m                                   B
Nothing wakes you up like wakin' up alone
G#m                                               B
And all that's left of us is a cupboard full of clothes
F#                                            E
The day you walked away and took the higher ground
F#                                           C#/F E
Was the day that I became the man that I am now

Chorus:
      B         E           G#m      F#
But these high walls, they came up short
             E      G#m      F#
Now I stand taller than them all
B/D#        E           G#m      C#/F
These high walls never broke my soul
          E
And I, I watched them all come fallin' down
                         F#           B      E     B E
I watched them all come fallin' down for you, for you

Nothing makes you hurt like hurtin' who you love
(Hurtin' who you love)
And no amount of words will ever be enough
(Will ever be enough)
I looked you in the eyes, saw that I was lost (Saw that I was lost)
For every question why, you were my because (You were my because)

Chorus:
But these high walls, they came up short
Now I stand taller than them all
These high walls never broke my soul
And I, I watched them all come fallin' down
I watched them all come fallin' down for you
Fallin' down for you

E                G#m            F#
So this one is a thank you for what you did to me
E              G#m                F#
Why is it that thank-yours are so often bittersweet?
E              B               D#            G#m       C#/F
I just hope I see you one day, and you say to me, "Oh, oh"

Chorus:
But these high walls, they came up short
Now I stand taller than them all
These high walls never broke my soul
And I, I watched them all come fallin' down
I watched them all come fallin' down for you
Fallin' down for you

Nothing wakes you up like wakin' up alone
