Bring Down the Walls

G                    C      D
It's not only you,
D                                     G            Em
Who knows how the wind blows
Em                 C                             D                             G
Not only they who know just how the world must be.
G                  C      D
It's not only she who
D                      G                 Em
Is looking for answers,
Em           Am                 Em                  D
Not only them, not only you, not only me...

Cho:
 

D                                C             D
Bring down the walls
D                          G      Em
And bring in the river
Em                            C                       D
Bring down the lonesome, frozen clay,
D                               G
And bring in the light.
G                           C            D
Bring down the walls,
D                          G           Em
Throw open the windows,
G                  Am
And if we just hold on,
Am   Em                 Em  D
We just might find a place
                        Am            G
Where just living is right
The justice has called,
And canceled the weddings.
The jester has answered all the phones,
Before they could ring.
The mothers in town
Have nailed  down all the windows
And the merchants barred their doors, to go home and sing....
 
 
Bring down the walls
And bring in the river
Bring down the lonesome, frozen clay,
And bring in the light.
Bring down the walls,
Throw open the windows,
And if we just hold on,
We just might find a place
Where just living is right
Bridge:
 
G                                Am
Just living is not an easy answer;
    D                                            G
Not simple,  and not always kind;
G                                Am
Just living cannot guarantee you
Em                                               D
Comfort to an overcrowded mind...

G                    C      D
It's not only you,
D                                     G            Am++       G
Who knows how the wind blows
G                 C                             D                             G
Not only they who know just how the world must be.
G                  C      D
It's not only she who
D                      G          Em
Is looking for answers,
Em           Am                 Em                  D
Not only them, not only you, not only me...

Final Cho:
Bring down the walls
And bring in the river
Bring down the lonesome, frozen clay,
And bring in the sun.
Bring down the walls,
Throw open the windows,
And if we just hold on,
We just might find,
A place where just living is done
