{between the Em and Bm chords play this ---- (D) -0-2-4-2-0- }

{intro Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm G A }

D G C D

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

D 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

G C D

I recognize the weapons, I used them well

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

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...}

Am C Am C

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory

Am C Am A G

Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me

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}
