[Verse 1]
Am C
Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone
Am C
And all that's left of us is a cupboard full of clothes
G G7 F
The day you walked away and took the higher ground
G G7 D F
Was the day that I became the man that I am now
[Chorus]
F Am G C
But these high walls, they came up short
F Am G
Now I stand taller than them all
E/G# Am C/G D/F#
These high walls never broke my soul
F
And I, I watched them all come fallin' down
Dm C F
I watched them all come fallin' down for you
C F
For you
[Verse 2]
Am C
Nothing makes you hurt like hurtin' who you love (Hurtin' who you love)
Am C
And no amount of words will ever be enough (Will ever be enough)
G F
I looked you in the eyes, saw that I was lost (Saw that I was lost)
G D
For every question why, you were my because (You were my because)
[Chorus]
F Am G C
But these high walls, they came up short
F Am G
Now I stand taller than them all
E/G# Am C/G D/F#
These high walls never broke my soul
F
And I, I watched them all come fallin' down
Dm C F
I watched them all come fallin' down for you
C F
Fallin' down for you
[Bridge]
F Am G
So this one is a thank you for what you did to me
F Am G
Why is it that thank you is so often bittersweet?
F C E/G# Am Am7/G D/F#
I just hope I see you one day, and you say to me, ooh ooh
[Chorus]
F Am G C
But these high walls, they came up short
F Am G
Now I stand taller than them all
E7 Am C/G D/F#
These high walls never broke my soul
F
And I, I watched them all come fallin' down
Dm C F
I watched them all come fallin' down for you
C F
Fallin' down for you
[Outro]
Am C
Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone
Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone
And all that's left of us is a cupboard full of clothes
The day you walked away and took the higher ground
Was the day that I became the man that I am now
But these high walls, they came up short
Now I stand taller than them all
These high walls never broke my soul, and I
I watched them all come falling down
I watched them all come falling down for you
For you
Nothing makes you hurt like hurting who you love (Hurting who you love)
And no amount of words will ever be enough (Never be enough)
I looked you in the eyes, saw that I was lost (Saw that I was lost)
For every question 'why', you were my 'because' (You were my 'because')
But these high walls came up short
Now I stand taller than them all
These high walls never broke my soul, and I
I watched them all come falling down
I watched them all come falling down for you
Falling down for you
So this one is a thank you for what you did to me
Why is it that 'thank yous' are so often bittersweet
I just hope I see you one day and you'll say to me, oh, oh
But these high walls came up short
Now I stand taller than them all
These high walls never broke my soul, and I
I watched them all come falling down
I watched them all come falling down for you
Falling down for you
Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone
