Remove AdsFortress Around Your Heart – STING
Gm9 (xxxx10-10 xxxx8-8 xxxx6-5 xxxx8-8)
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns have been pounding all through the night
Eb (xxxx9-9 xxxx8-8 xxxx6-6 xxxx8-8)
It took a day to build the city
We walked through the streets in the afternoon
F#m9 (xxxx9-9 xxxx7-7 xxxx5-4 xxxx7-7)
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
B7/4 (xxxx7-7 xxxx5-5 xxxx4-4 SI7/4)
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 Eb7+ F And let me set the battlements on fire
Gm9 Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
Eb Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
F#m9 While the armies all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
B7/4 Of walking on the mines I'd laid
Repeat Chorus
Gm9 This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
Eb It took a day to build the city
We walked through it's streets this afternoon
F#m9 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 fear
B7/4 Of walking on the mines I'd laid
Repeat Chorus
