C Em/B Am
I had a fortress all pristine and blue
F C
And the doorways were painted in red
C Em/B Am
And each tiny window reflections of you
F C
And the only way out was my head
G C Em/B F
Can you imagine my misunderstanding I relied on relics and tombs
C F G C
And no one said nothing till we saw your face on the news
C Em/B Am
I can make mountains where nothing there stands
F C
And I can make many ado
C Em/B Am
Every stone is a missed altercation
F C
Still every height is a view
G C Em/B F
I’ve stood in protest thorns against roses I don’t mind intentions are true
C F G C
And no one said nothing till we saw your face on the news
G
I had it all figured out
C
I was right and they were wrong
Am
I looked for the difference
F Dm F G
And I found the difference was gone
C Em/B Am
Over the decades and between the lines
F C
Nothing has left me alone
C Em/B Am
I know the time passes grows up and trespasses
F C
And we’ve all got fears of our own
G C Em/B F
No need to ration a source of compassion and anything less I refuse
C F G C
‘Cause no one said nothing till we saw your face on the news
