[Verse 1]

melody maker

why did she

take my heart up to the skies

only to break me

the world it

it keeps spinning

but I'm

I'm not with it

I'm all alone

oh melody maker

will you

send me a line

or make me

some of your time

so that I can sing

and land with these broken wings

[Chorus]

Am Em

and if you need me

remember not to call

Am Em

and did you deceive me

with your back against the wall?

Am Em

and do you believe me?

all I have is love

why did you deceive me? ha

Em Bm

just another brick in the wall

yeah yeah

[Verse 2]

too young to remember and

too hard to forget

you know

I live my life

on the end of your cigarette

the past is gone

but let's not forget

you had me cut

down the skies

before you let me in

you never really let me in

[Chorus]

Am Em

so next time you need me

remember not to call

Am Em

and did you deceive me?

with your back against the wall

Am Em

and do you believe me?

all I have is love (for you)

why did you deceive me? ha

Em Bm

just another brick in the wall

yeah yeah
