     Dm          Am
It's OK, love is only meant for some
         Dm             Am
I'm the rock, I'm the shoulder you can cry on
Gm                     Am
I keep the walls from falling down
Gm                     Am
I keep the walls from falling down
Gm                     Am Gm   F
I keep the walls from falling down

I'll play it straight
While you laugh and drink and party all night long
I'll designate myself
To be the driver who takes you home
I keep the walls from falling down
I keep the walls from falling down

            Gm
You can be pretty and tragic
      Dm                         C
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
           Gm
You can be beautiful and fabulous
      Dm                         C
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
         Gm
I can't reach the pain you feel
          Dm                         C
But I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
           Gm
If you can hold on, lose your fear
      Dm                         C
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
Falling down, falling down

Where is your saint?
To let you know you're not alone
To bring you peace
Help me be your friend; your confidante
And keep the walls from falling down
Keep the walls from falling down
Keep the walls from falling down
