Chorus:
C#m B F#m
Tell me, how do I read you when all I see is a stare?
C#m B F#m
How do you look for the signs when nothing is there
A
So you think
C#m E
When the water won't cut the flame
F#m A
And the anger drives you insane
C#m B
Tell me, how does it look from behind
C#m
your walls of pain? - x2
C#m B
Walls of pain
F#m C#m B F#m A
Behind the walls, behind the walls of pain (Pain)
C#m B
When you just can't take anymore
F#m A
And the last lights fade from the shore
C#m E B/D# C#m
Tell me, how does it look from behind your walls of pain?
G#m
I've been thinking
B
Spend my time worrying
F#m C#m
About the way you don't seem the same
G#m
Hoping, waiting
B
For back to how you were again
F#m A B C#m B
There's gotta be something I can say
F#m C#m B F#m A
Behind the walls, behind the walls of pain (Pain)
C#m B
When the faces all look the same
F#m A
And the angels cry out your name
C#m E B/D# C#m
Tell me, how does it look from behind your walls of pain?
I've been thinking
Spend my time worrying
About the way you don't seem the same
Hoping, waiting
For back to how you were again
There's gotta be something I can say
Chorus:
Tell me, how do I reach you when all I see is a stare?
And how do you look for the signs when nothing is there?
So you think
But I'm stepping out on the ledge
So before you go over the edge
Tell me, how does it look from behind
your walls of pain?
E B/D# C#m
Behind your walls of pain
(Behind your walls of pain)
E B/D# C#m
Behind your walls of pain
