If these old walls, if these old walls could speak.
Bb      F         C       Dm               F      C      Bb  
What a tale they have to tell, parties and people raisin'hell
            C           F       Bb                
A couple in love livin' week to week.
      C7      F         Bb                    C      
Rooms full of laughter, if these  walls could speak.

Verse 2


Bb           C         Bb       C           F        
 If these old halls, if hallowed halls could talk.
Bb          F              Dm                  F        C      Bb    
These would have a tale to tell, the sun goin' down and dinner bells.
          C          F        Bb        
Children playin' at hide and seek.
     C7       F           Bb                    C     Bb          
From floor to rafters, if these old Halls could speak.

Chorus 1

                    C        F   C   Bb     
They would tell you that I'm sorry.
                       C         F  C  Bb    
For bein' and cold and blind and weak.
                              Dm                  C       Bb     Gm  
They would tell you that it's only that I have a stubborn streak.
Bb                   F      
If these walls could speak.

Verse 3                                           

Bb            C      Bb     C          F      
If these old fashioned window panes were eyes.
  Bb          F         C       Dm               
I guess they would have seen it all.
             F      C             Bb         
Each little tear and silent footfall.
           C             F      Bb       
And every dream that we came to seek,
   C7       F       Bb                       C     Bb
Or followed after, if these old walls could speak.

Chorus 2

                     C     F     C  Bb        
They would tell you that I owe you,
                   C   F C            
More that I could ever pay.
 Bb                       Dm                            
Here's someone who really loves you,
           C   Bb  Gm Dm       
Don't ever go away.
       Gm                     F   Bb F  C  Gm F  
That's what these walls would say.
