I am a Building by the Wallflowers
words and music by Jakob Dylan
Capo V
BmI'm here by my wiGndow
DI am waiting for your Aparade
BmI will salute Gyou
DFrom above the crowd as you Amake your way
DYou won the battle
D7You've won the war
D6I admit it now
DsusI could not give Dany mGore
My condition is youEmr reward
             G
I  Am   Abuilding
AHere without dBmoors
The altitude is now
Getting to me
As they applaud you
On the boulevard
The whole valley looks like
Someone's body
All the people look like
Little scars
This day is taking
Forever
I will never say
Never say never again
The flesh around me
Is only pretend
Return to sendGer
Every letAter
That is yBmours
I am Emsure
That I am a builGding
AHere without Bmdoors
Fire blazing
On the overpass
Cattle grazing
In fields of dead grass
Last summer was earthquake weather
By November
This too should have passed
I am not moving
I am landlocked
I am looking through
A thousand windows spread across
A thousand floors
There in a landfill
Where Eden was before
But not anymore
I  Am   Abuilding
Here without doors
DDid you see me waving to you from abGove
Things are looking clear now
DMy eyes are wide enough to see the way a sniper dGoes
Behind the barrel of a good gun
the uh huh's use the same chords aa verse
For worse or better
I surrender
It may not matter
But I'm sadder than you'll ever know
I am your inferno
Here all in yellow
With embers blowing north
No sense in returning
I'm not worried anymore
I  Am   Abuilding
That is here without doors
I  Am   Abuilding
That is here without doors
