[Verse 1]
Dm
I drew a map
One I could follow
C
Marking out the paths of the swallows
Dm
A tower high glistening brightly
C
So I could see the world around me
Bb Am G
A view that I had made to cover the pain
Bb Am G
Forget all about you, here I'll remain
[Chorus]
Gm F
I built this city around my body
Gm F Eb
These walls they hold me like you once did
F Eb
Like you once did
[Verse 2]
Dm
When I wake I know you will find me
C
Even though this memory's behind me
Dm
In my heart nothing is missing
C
Follow me to a place you can listen
Bb Am G
A view that I had made to cover the pain
Bb Am G
Forget all about you, here I'll remain
[Chorus]
Gm F
I built this city around my body
Gm F Eb
These walls they hold me like you once did
F Eb
Like you once did
[Instrumental]
Dm C Dm C
Bb C Bb C
[Chorus]
Gm F
I built this city around my body
Gm F C Eb
These walls they hold me like you once did
F C Eb
Like you once did
F C Eb F
Like you once did
