G#m
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns had been pounding all through the night

D#
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon

F#m
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I'd once made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
    B7
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Chorus:
   Em     D/F#       G   Am     D
And if I built this fortress around your heart
   Em      D/F#    G      Am          D
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
  Em        D/F#      G    Am      D
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
    Cm7    Dm7     D#7    F
And let me set the battlements on fire

Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead

While the armies are all sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Chorus:
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon

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 for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Chorus:
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
