Fortress Around Your Heart Sting
Fortress Around Your Heart â?? STING
Gm9 (xxxx10-10 xxxx8-8 xxxx6-5 xxxx8-8)
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
Eb (xxxx9-9 xxxx8-8 xxxx6-6 xxxx8-8)
It took a day to build the city
We walked through the streets in the afternoon
F#m9 (xxxx9-9 xxxx7-7 xxxx5-4 xxxx7-7)
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
B7/4 (xxxx7-7 xxxx5-5 xxxx4-4 SI7/4)
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
Chorus:
An[Em]d if I b[D/F#]uilt this f[G]ortre[Am]ss arou[D]nd your heart
En[Em]circled [D/F#]you in tren[G]ches [Am]and bar[D]bed wire
Th[Em]en let m[D/F#]e build a b[G]ridge[Am], for I[D] cannot fill the chasm
And[Cm7] let me [Dm7]set the [Eb7+]battle[F]ments on fire
[Gm9] Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
[Eb] Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
[F#m9] While the armies all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
[B7/4] Of walking on the mines I'd laid
Repeat Chorus
[Gm9] This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
[Eb] It took a day to build the city
We walked through it's streets this afternoon
[F#m9] 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 fear
[B7/4] Of walking on the mines I'd laid
Repeat Chorus
