D            G    C         D        D
 I sit at my table and wage war on myself
   G               C                  D
It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing
  D           G       C
I know the barricades, and
           D             D
I know the mortar in the wall breaks

I recognize the weapons, I used them well

Chorus

  Em  Bm

 This is my mistake. Let me make it good
  Em                     Bm                            G    A
 I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down

Verse 2

D G C D:
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

Chorus

Em BM:
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

     Am           C           Am             A           G
 Let my machine talk to me.  Let my machine talk to me

Bridge 2

This is my world and I am the world leader pretend
This is my life and this is my time

It's high time I've razed the walls that I've constructed

Chorus

Em                        Bm
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

Chorus

Em                      Bm
You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
Em                      Bm
You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls
Em                  Bm                G               A
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

Notes

  • Verses: between the Em and Bm chords play (D) 0-2-4-2-0

Bass Guitar

The timing on this one can be a bit tricky.
I suggest maybe playing along to the piano/vocal solo first - 
(Bridge 2) that should give you a better feel for the rhythm.
