Walls Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Are you listening?
We write a thousand pages
They're torn and on the [Em]floor
Headlights hammer the [C]windows
We're locked behind these [Am]doors
And we are never leaving
This place is part [Em]of us
And all these scenes repeat[C]ing
Are cold [Am]to the touch

[Verse 2]
My hands seem to deceive [Am]me
When I'm nervous or when [Em]I'm healthy
The [C]scenery's all drawn.[Am]
They hang here from the walls dear
Painting pictures, bleeding col[Em]ors
Blanket [C]the windows[G][Em]
[Am]Sometimes it gets so hard
[G]to breathe[Em][Am]
Your [D]eyes see right [C]through me
[Em]These fights with your arms left beside
[D]One thing and one more says goodnight
[C]You've got the map come get to [Am]me
[D]These knuckles break before they bleed
[Em]Tear out these veins that own my heart
[D]This skin that wears your
lasting mark[C]s
I've built these walls come get to [Am]me,
come get to [Em]me[Am][Em][C]
[Am]Is this your lesson,
a slight discretion
The lines that keep you,
the lines that sweep [Em]you
Lock the doors from [C]in side
[Am]Your face is so contagious,
it wears announcements
It leaves me breath[Em]less,
I won't forget this, I won't [C]forget
[G]Let [Em]the [Am]walls have their say
[G]This [Em]time [Am]the[D][C]
[Am]walls will have their say

[Verse 3]
[Am]
No conver[C]sation, [Am]without remorse
And this televi[C]sion drowns
the only [Am]source
Wake from these dreams
of [C]you in [Am]my arms
To the [C]staircase where
you hold my heart
[Am]This[C]
[Am]place,
these wall[C]s mean everything t[Am]o me
