        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
