WALLSBy Scott Fahey
Medium Tempo
[G]Just a victim for your [Bm]love, [Am7]a [C]soldier in this [G]war,
[G]but as I fight the [Bm]battle, [Am7]forgetting what I’m [C]fighting [G] for.
[G]So don’t hold my[Bm]hand, [Am7]not if you [C]want me to let [G]go,
[G]cause I’m building[Bm]walls around you, [Am7]so no one [C]ever has to [G] know.
[G]The silence of your [Bm]love, [Am7]can make [C]the levy [G]break,
[G]you ask me to take a [Bm]risk, [Am7]so it’s a [C]risk I [G]take.
[G]But as the feeling grows and [Bm]grows, [Am7]and the [C]truth becomes a [G]lie,
[G]time stops when your by [Bm]my side, [Am7]but your still [C]asking [G]why.
[G]So don’t hold my[Bm]hand, [Am7]not if you [C]want me to let [G]go,
[G]cause I’m building[Bm]walls around you, [Am7]so no one [C]ever has to [G] know.
[G]As the wind gets[Bm]colder, [Am7]we both [C]lay [G]entwined,
[G]your kiss it lingers on my [Bm]lips, [Am7]like this [C]cheap red[G]wine.
[G]The colour of this [Bm]winter sky, [Am7]now pale [C]at your [G]touch,
[G]sometimes I need to [Bm]catch myself, [Am7]from wanting [C]you too [G]much.
[G]So don’t hold my[Bm]hand, [Am7]not if you [C]want me to let [G]go,
[G]cause I’m building[Bm]walls around you, [Am7]so no one [C]ever has to [G] know.
[G]A secret love can [Bm]be [Am7]like a treasure [C]never [G]found,
[G]laying safe a [Bm]lifetime [Am7]hidden [C]under[G]ground,
[G]So I know [Bm]that’s where [Am7]our love [C]must [G]stay,
[G]but that’s a [Bm]song I can’t [Am7]dance to, [C]or even hear it[G]play.
[G]So don’t hold my[Bm]hand, [Am7]not if you [C]want me to let [G]go,
[G]cause I’m building[Bm]walls around you, [Am7]so no one [C]ever has to [G] know.
[G]So I’m building you a [Bm]castle, [Am7]somewhere [C]on a [G]hill,
[G]where you can paint your [Bm]pictures, [Am7]I can [C]drink my[G]fill.
[G]But if I’m just [Bm]dreaming , [Am7]then baby [C]let me [G]go,
[G]cause I’m building[Bm]walls around you, [Am7]so no one [C]ever has to [G] know.
