Under the ruins of a walled city

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 B7sus B7 B7sus
Of walking on the mines I'd laid


Chorus:

Em D G C D C D
And if I built this fortress around your heart

Em D G C D C D
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire

Em D G C D C D
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm

Eb F Eb F G
And let me set the battlements on fire

Intro riff 2 times


Verse:

Play riff #1 on these two lines

Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head


Play riff #2 on these two lines

Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead


Play riff #3 for these three lines

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

B7 B7sus B7 B7sus
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Repeat Chorus

Verse:

Play riff #1 on these two lines

This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay

Play riff #2 on these two lines

It took a day to build the city
We walked through it's streets this afternoon

Play riff #3 on these three lines

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 B7sus B7 B7sus
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Repeat Chorus

Go back to intro riff.
