Fortress Around Your Heart Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Gm9 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

D♯ It took a day to build the city

We walked through the streets in the afternoon

F♯m9 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

  AnEmd if I bD/F♯uilt this fGortreAmss arouDnd your heart

  EnEmcircled D/F♯you in trenGches Amand barDbed wire

  ThEmen let mD/F♯e build a bGridgeAm, for ID cannot fill the chasm

  AndCm7 let me Dm7set the D♯7battleFments on fire

Gm9 Then I went off to fight some battle

That I'd invented inside my head

D♯ 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

D♯ 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
