When I built these walls with bricks and stones

I built these walls a long time ago

She ain't gonna take 'em down

No, she ain't gonna break 'em down

[Interlude]

C Em Am

I built these walls with my two hands

C Em Am

I laid every single part

C Em Am

And behind these walls a coward stands

C Em Am

An ego and a broken heart

C Em Am

An ego and a broken heart

[Chorus 1]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, she comes around

C Em Am

When I built these walls around my chest

C Em Am

I built them thick and strong

C Em Am

Oh, and she can try her very best

C Em Am

But they've been here for too long

C Em Am

For long ago there was a girl

C Em Am

That stood there where she stands

But she reached right in into my heart

C Em Am

And broke it in her hands

C Em Am

Oh, she broke it in her hands

[Chorus 2]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, and I suppose

If there's no rain clouds

Nothing grows

F C

Oh-oh-oh, but this I know

If I don't get high

I won't get low

F C

Oh-oh-oh, and I find her strange

She wants to climb up

But she could fall

F C

Oh-oh-oh, she said, "I don't change"

And I live and die

Am G

Behind these walls

Behind these walls

Am G

Behind these walls
