INTRO :  C   Am   F  C  
VERSE 1:
I'm cCaughtAm  
SomewhFere in beCtween AliveC  Am  
And liFving a drCeam. No peacCeAm  
Just cFlicking mCachines
In the qFuiet Cof compaGzine.
The walFls caved Gin on Cme.
2:
(VERSES REPEAT SAME CHORDS)
And she sings
My bird dressed in white.
And she stings
My arm in the night.
I lay still
Still I'm ready to fight.
Have my lungs
But you can't take my sight.
The walls caved in Tonight.
3:
And out here
I watch the sun circle the earth
The marrows collide in rebirth
In God's glory praise
The spirit calls out
from the caves.
The walls fell and there I lay Saved.
(PIANO SOLO)
Part 2
Verse 1:
The walls are caving FinC  
As Cfar as I can sAmee
The walls are caviFng in
The doors got locked for Csure
TheAmre's no one here but me
2:
Beat my body like a rag doll
you stuck the needles in my hip
Said 'we're not gonna lie
Son, you just might die
Get you on that
morphine drip, drip'
3:
The walls are caving in
As far as I can see
The walls are caving in
The doors got locked for sure
There's no one here but me
4:
I fought a war to walk a gang plank
Into a life I left behind
Windows leading to the past
Think it's time I broke some glass
Get this history off my mind
CAnd what if we were
C/Bmarried forever?
Like the Ampast never happened
And Ftime did not
exGist for us at alCl
(REPEAT CHORDS)
I still think we'd still be
traveling together
Through all kinds of weather
Everything's a piece of everyone
5:
As far as I can see
Walls are caving in
Doors got locked for sure
But I see these doors have keys
6:
Walls are caving in
As far as I can see
The walls are caving in
Doors got locked for sure
There's no one here but me
There's no one here but me
No one here but me, yeah.
There's no one here but me
No one here but me

And she sings

My bird dressed in white.

And she stings

My arm in the night.

I lay still

Still I'm ready to fight.

Have my lungs

But you can't take my sight.

The walls caved in Tonight.

And out here

I watch the sun circle the earth

The marrows collide in rebirth

In God's glory praise

The spirit calls out

from the caves.

The walls fell and there I lay Saved.

As far as I can see

The walls are caving in

The doors got locked for sure

There's no one here but me

Beat my body like a rag doll

you stuck the needles in my hip

Said 'we're not gonna lie

Like the past never happened

And time did not

No one here but me, yeah.

There's no one here but me
