intro Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm G A
I^D sit at my ta^Gble a^Cnd wage war on mys^Delf I^Dt se^Gems like it's al^Cl...it's all for no^Dthing I^D know the ba^Grricades, ^Cand I know the mor^Dtar in the wal^Dl breaks I rec^Gognize the weapons,^C I used them well ^D

Em Bm

T^Emhis is my mistake. L^Bmet me make it good I^Em raised the wall, and I^Bm will be the one to knock it d^Gown ^A

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses I proclaim that claims are left unstated, I demand a rematch I decree a stalemate I divine my deeper motives I recognize the weapons I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize This is my mistake. Let me make it good I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

I lose track of where the chords occur over the words. They just switch between Am and C until the last part of this section...

R^Ameach out for m^Ce and hold ^Amme tight. Hold that me^Cmory Let ^Ammy machine ta^Clk to me. L^Amet my machine t^Aalk to me ^G

This is my world And I am the world leader pretend This is my life And this is my time I have been given the freedom To do as I see fit It's high time I've razed the walls That I've constructed It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize This is my mistake. Let me make it good I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls And I'm the only one I will be the one to knock it down

end on Em
