G5 (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

Eb5 (xxxx(b9)9 xxxx8-8 xxxx6-6 xxxx8-8)            
 It took a day to build the city
 We walked through the streets in the afternoon

F#5 (xxxx(b9)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 

B/4 (xxxx7-7 xxxx5-5 xxxx4-4  SI7/4)            
 Of walking on the mines I'd laid

 Chorus:
   E5      D5       G5    A5     D5
 And if I built this fortress around your heart
   E5      D5       G5    A5     D5
 Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
   E5      D5       G5    A5     D5
 Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm 
    C5     D5     Eb7+  F5  
 And let me set the battlements on fire 

G5
 Then I went off to fight some battle
 That I'd invented inside my head
 
Eb5 
 Away so long for years and years
 You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
 
F#5
 While the armies all are sleeping
 Beneath the tattered flag we made
 I had to stop in my tracks for fear

B/4
 Of walking on the mines I'd laid

 Repeat Chorus

G5
 This prison has now become your home
 A sentence you seem prepared to pay
 
Eb5
 It took a day to build the city
 We walked through it's streets this afternoon

F#5
 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

B/4
 Of walking on the mines I'd laid

 Repeat Chorus
