Fortress 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:
AnEmd if I bD/F#uilt this fGortreAmss arouDnd your heart EnEmcircled D/F#you in trenGches Amand barDbed wire ThEmen let mD/F#e build a bGridgeAm, for ID 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 CIAO CLAUDIO
