[Intro]
Am F C Em7 Am G F
[Verse]
AmI part the faded Fcurtain in my Csmall urban Em7bedsit
AmAnd look out on Ganother empty Fday
AmA lone car rolls Fpast with its Clights showing Em7nothing
AmTil the hungry city Gdraws it Faway
[Verse]
AmOn the corner is a Fsmall park, where Cno one’s been for Em7years
AmWhere broken bottles Glay themselves to Frest
AmThere’s an old faded Fsign there, Changing from the Em7wall
AmWelcoming the Gcity’s every Fguest
[Chorus]
GAre these walls getting Amcloser?
GWill there still be room to Ammove, room to breathe?
GAre these walls getting Amcloser?
GWill there still be time to Fleave
[Verse]
AmAnother piece of Fpaper is Cwashed up in the Em7rain
AmSharing the Ggutter with an Fold can
AmThe streets are Fdeserted on this Ccold Sunday Em7morning
AmExcept for one Gslow moving old Fman
[Verse]
AmWho is dragging his Fdog along the Ccracked cobbled Em7pavement
AmHis tattered raincoat Gpulled up around his Fhead
AmAround all the Fbuildings have Cbarred, broken Em7windows
AmAnd inside their Ggrey world is Fdead
[Chorus]
GAre these walls getting Amcloser?
GWill there still be room to Ammove, room to breathe?
GAre these walls getting Amcloser?
GWill there still be time to Fleave
[Bridge]
FLooking Gout beyond the Ccity, I see the golden Ffields, where Gall the life has Cgone
FLooking Gout beyond the Ccity, behind these grey Fwalls, I look up to see the E7sun
[Instrumental Verse]
 Am   F   C   Em7   Am   G   Fx2
[Chorus]
GAre these walls getting Amcloser?
GWill there still be room to Ammove, room to breathe?
GAre these walls getting Amcloser?
GWill there still be time to Fleave
