[Intro]
Riff #1 x4

[Verse]

(Riff #1)
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns have been pounding all through the night

(Riff #2)
It took a day to build the city
We walked through the streets in the afternoon

(Riff #3)
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once laid
I had to stop in my tracks for fear

(Riff #4)
Of walking on the mines I'd laid


[Chorus]

    Em   D/F#       G    Am7   C  D  C  D  C
And if I built this fortress around your heart
  Em     D/F#      G     Am7         C  D  C  D  C
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
     Em     D/F#     G     Am7     C  D  C  D  C
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
    Cm7    Dm7      Eb    F
And let me set the battlements on fire

Riff #1 x2


[Verse]

(Riff #1)
Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head

(Riff #2)
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead

(Riff #3)
While the armies all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear

(Riff #4)
Of walking on the mines I'd laid


[Chorus]

    Em   D/F#       G    Am7   C  D  C  D  C
And if I built this fortress around your heart
  Em     D/F#      G     Am7         C  D  C  D  C
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
     Em     D/F#     G     Am7     C  D  C  D  C
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
    Cm7    Dm7      Eb    F
And let me set the battlements on fire

Riff #1 x2


[Verse]

(Riff #1)
This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay

(Riff #2)
It took a day to build the city
We walked through the streets in the afternoon

(Riff #3)
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear

(Riff #4)
Of walking on the mines I'd laid


[Chorus]

    Em   D/F#       G    Am7   C  D  C  D  C
And if I built this fortress around your heart
  Em     D/F#      G     Am7         C  D  C  D  C
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
     Em     D/F#     G     Am7     C  D  C  D  C
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
    Cm7    Dm7      Eb    F
And let me set the battlements on fire


[Outro]

Riff #1
