[Verse 1]
A Asus2/G#
when I was young maybe 7 or 8 years old
F#m F#m/E
looking for you dad it's getting so late and cold
D E A
and you still hadn’t come home
A Asus2/G#
mum was yelling at you said you couldn’t stay
F#m F#m/E
you took a hit from the bottle and drove away
D E A
but I knew where you’d go
[Chorus]
A Asus2/G#
you built a tower round your heart
F#m F#m/E
four walls of cardboard in the dark
D
I know you slept there once
E
down where the river runs
A Asus2/G#
you told me son you’ll learn one day
F#m F#m/E
sometimes you try to run away
D
I thought you’d given up
E
down where the river runs

[Verse 2]
A Asus2/G#
all alone you were gone for 3/4 days
F#m F#m/E
by the bridge cuz the water made you feel safe
D E A
like your problems would wash away
A Asus2/G#
they all said I was a victim of a broken home
F#m F#m/E
you built this castle but it crumbled so I made my own
D E
but it fell down anyway
[Chorus]
A Asus2/G#
you built a tower round your heart
F#m F#m/E
four walls of cardboard in the dark
D
I know you slept there once
E
down where the river runs
A Asus2/G#
you told me son you’ll learn one day
F#m F#m/E
sometimes you try to run away
D
I thought you’d given up
E
down where the river runs

[Verse 3]
A Asus2/G#
you were a god just holding me in your arms
F#m F#m/E
dry my eyes in the strongest of thunderstorms
D E A
till the skies turned back to blue
A Asus2/G#
now I’m older, I’ve been wanting to turn back time
F#m F#m/E
say all the words that I needed to by your side
D E A Let Ring
now you’re gone I miss you
[Chorus]
A Asus2/G#
you built a tower round your heart
F#m F#m/E
four walls of cardboard in the dark
D
I know you slept there once
E
down where the river runs
A Asus2/G#
you told me son you’ll learn one day
F#m F#m/E
sometimes you try to run away
D
I thought you’d given up
E
down where the river runs
