[Verse]
B E
You can walk, walk to Bethesda
E B
There’s no house on Mercy Street
B E/A B
You might get lost in the company of angels
E/A G#m B
Ignoring the stones tied around your feet
[Pre Chorus]
E/A
Yeah you got to try for something
B
Bend your knee and fight for something
C#m
Learn how to die for something
B E/A B
So you ain't living life for nothing, no
[Chorus]
E/A E
Rivers weren’t made for drowning
G#m E
Souls are never made to fail
B E/A E
I raised Jericho around me
C#m B |E |A E |A E |B
But these walls were built to scale
[Verse]
E E/A E
I framed a fortress ‘round my heart
E/A E B
Carved her name in the old front door
E E/A E
So she would know love still stands
E/A E B
Here forever even when she’s gone
[Pre Chorus]
E/A
Love can be a heat wave
B
Love can be a cold rain
C#m
Shadows that play
G#m E/A B
On the walls of your room
[Chorus]
E/A E
Rivers weren’t made for drowning
G#m E
Souls are never made to fail
B E/A E
I raised Jericho around me
G#m B |E |A E |A E |B
But these walls were built to scale
