Fortress Around Your Heart

[|][Gm9]Under the [C7/G]ruins of a [Gm9]walled[|][] ci[C7/G]ty

[|][Gm9]Crumbling [C7/G]towers and [Gm9]beams of [|][]yellow [C7/G]light

[|][Gm9]No flags of [C7/G]truce, no [Gm9]cries [|][]of pi[C7/G]ty

The [|][Gm9]siege [C7/G]guns had been [Gm9]pounding [|][]through the [C7/G]night

[|][Eb7]It took a [Eb6]day to [Eb]build [|][]the ci[Eb6]ty

[|][Eb7]We walked [Eb6]through its streets in [Eb]the [|][]afternoon[Eb6]

[|][F#m9]As I re[B7/F#]turned across [F#m9]the [|][]fields I'd [B7/F#]known

[|][F#m9]I recog[B7/F#]nized the walls [F#m9]that [|][]I'd once [B7/F#]made

[|][F#m9]I had to [B7/F#]stop in [F#m9]my [|][]tracks for [B7/F#]fear Of

[|][B7sus4]walking [E/B]on the [B]mines [|][]I'd [B7sus4]laid And if

[|][Gm9]Then I went [C7/G]off to [Gm9]fight [|][]some bat[C7/G]tle

[|][Gm9]That I'd in[C7/G]vented in[Gm9]side [|][]my head[C7/G]

[|][Eb7]Away [Eb6]so long for [Eb]years [|][]and years[Eb6]

[|][Eb7]You probably [Eb6]thought or even [Eb]wished [|][]that I was [Eb6]dead

[|][F#m9]While the [B7/F#]armies are [B7/F#][|][]all slee[B7/F#]ping

[|][F#m9]Beneath [B7/F#]the tattered [F#m9]flag [|][]we'd made[B7/F#]

[|][F#m9]I had [B7/F#]to stop my [F#m9]tracks [|][]for [B7/F#]fear Of

[|][B7sus4]walking [E/B]on the [B]mines [|][]I'd [B7sus4]laid And if

[|][Gm9]This prison has [C7/G]now be[Gm9]come [|][]your home[C7/G]

[|][Gm9]A sentence [C7/G]you seem pre[Gm9]pared [|][]to pay[C7/G]

[|][Eb7]It took a [Eb6]day to [Eb]build [|][]the ci[Eb6]ty

[|][Eb7]We walked [Eb6]through its streets in [Eb]the [|][]afternoon[Eb6]

[|][F#m9]As I re[B7/F#]turned across [F#m9]the [|][]lands I'd [B7/F#]known

[|][F#m9]I recog[B7/F#]nized the fields [F#m9]where [|][]I'd once [B7/F#]played

[|][F#m9]Had to [B7/F#]stop in [F#m9]my [|][]tracks for [B7/F#]fear Of

[|][B7sus4]walking [E/B]on the [B]mines [|][]I'd [B7sus4]laid And if
