Lyrics

Intro:

(Key of b)

Verse 1:

B e/g# c#m
She's been a long time on the phone
B e/g# c#m d#m
Courting disaster in an undertone
G#m d#m
She's feeling nostalgic
G#m c#m
And feeling that fall
E c#m d#m c#m g#m
How could anyone ever fight it
E c#m
Who could ever expect to fight it when she
A em b
Builds that wall

Verse 2:

Maybe it's one where time will tell b e/g# c#m
Maybe it's one where it's just fare-thee-well b e/g# c#m d#m
I hear her coming g#m d#m
As she walks down the hall g#m c#m
How could anyone ever fight it e c#m d#m c#m g#m
Who could ever expect to fight it when she e c#m
Builds that wall a em b

Bridge:

D# g#m g#m/f#
I know the choice is made
C#m g#m
I can tell, I said
C#
By your guilty face
E c#m c#m d#m c#m g#m
And I never was one to fight it
E b2 b2/a em
How does anyone ever fight it

Verse 3:

You couldn't pin this one on me b e/g# c#m
You knew my thoughts so far as I could see b e/g# c#m
Well, I'd say it's hopeless g#m d#m
But you make the call g#m c#m
'Cause I never was one to fight it e c#m c#m d#m c#m g#m
And if given the chance I guess I'll learn to e c#m
Build that wall a em b

Coda:

Ahhhhhh c#m d#m c#m c#m d#m c#m
Ahhhhhh build that wall c#m d#m c#m a em b
