Lyrics

(Ab)These four (Eb)walls,

they whis per to me.

They know a (Eb)se cret

I knew they would not keep.

Did n’t take (Eb)long

for the (Bb7)room to fill with dust,

and (Ab)these four (Eb)walls

came (Bbm7)down a round us.

Must ’ve been (Ab)some thin’ sent me (Eb)out of my head,

with the (Db)words so (Ab)rad i cal and (Eb)not what I meant.

Now I wait for a break in the (Ab)si lence, ’cause it‘s (Eb)all that you left.

Just (Db)me and these four walls a gain.

It’s hard now to let you be.

I won’t make ex (Eb)cus es;

I’ve made my peace.

Did n’t take (Eb)long for me to lose the trust,

’cause (Ab)these four (Eb)walls

were not strong e nough.

Oh.

(Db)me and these four walls a gain.

Yeah, it’s dif (Db)fi cult

watch ing us (Ab)fade,

know ing it’s all my fault,

my mis take.

Yeah, and it’s dif fi cult

let ting you (Ab)down,

know ing it’s all my fault

you’re not a round.

Must ’ve been (Ab)some thin’ sent me (Eb)out of my head,

with the (Db)words so (Ab)rad i cal and (Eb)not what I meant.

Now I wait for a break in the (Ab)si lence, ’cause it’s (Eb)all that you left.

Just (Db)me and these four walls a gain.

A gain.

Ooh,

(Db)these four walls a (Ab)gain.
