|Ab |E |B |Bb- Db/Eb|

Ab Db
Some people build up wards
Gb Bb- Db/Eb
With walls they form in their mentality
Ab E
Keeping out their former ties
B
And folks at work
Bb- Db/Eb
Or forms of family
Ab Db
Some people stick to bricks
Gb Bb- Db/Eb
And other tricks to guard their property
Ab Gb
Keeping out the wolves and thieves
E B
And neighbors leaves and loud calamity
No
A D
Some people use busy lives
Ab fm
To stop their habits coming out at night
A D
Some people stay at home
Ab fm
You can’t break your heart if you stay alone
A D
But I don’t know what I fear
B E
And since I don’t know where to steer
Bb- Db/Eb
I don’t build up walls
I build up mirrors


Verse
I put on masks at 9 am
Shaped like the woman I think am
Red my lips and brush my hair
And pick some business casual wear
I get on the phone
And make my voice change
To be someone you’d like to pay
Don’t I sound nice?i
But it feels strange
To wear a costume everyday

A D
Some people stay the same
Ab fm
Some try but then they go insane
A D
Some change behind their walls
Ab fm
Some don’t have a wall at all
A D
But I still don’t know what I fear
B E
and since I don’t know where to steer
Bb- Db/Eb
I don’t build up walls
I build up
