Bm Cos i know that time has numbered my days G D G D G D G D G And I'll go along with everything you say Bm But I'll ride home laughing Look at me now Through the walls of my town G D G D G D G D G they come crumbling down And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons And I know their choices color all I’ve done But I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son I never lived a year better spent in love Chorus: G A Bm D 'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice G A Bm D A And I'll believe in grace and choice G A Bm D And I know perhaps my heart is farce G A Bm D A But I'll be born without a mask Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride I stretch my arms into the sky I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl As all we see will slip into the cloud So come down from your mountain and stand where we’ve been You know our breath is weak and our body thin Bm G D Press my nose up to the glass around your heart Bm G D I should've known I was weaker from the start Bm G D A G You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part D A D To tear, tear them down Bm G D Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down Chorus | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA D G Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
