Intro:

D  Bm (x2), D (n.C)

Verse 1:

(n.C)        D                      Bm
 If I were a tower of strength, I'd walk away,
    F#m                   G               A7
I'd look in your eyes and here's what I'd say;
        D                 Bm
I don't want you, I don't need you,
        D            G (n.C)                    D
I don't love you any-more, and I'd walk out the door.

Chorus 1:

G                      D      G                   D   B7
 You'd be down on your knees, you'd be calling to me...
               G6                     A7 (n.C)      (D)
But a tower of strength is something...   I'll never be.

Verse 2:

(n.C)        D                      Bm
 If I were a tower of strength, I'd watch you cry,
    F#m                     G             A7
I'd laugh at your tears and tell you good-bye.
        D                 Bm
I don't want you, I don't need you,
        D            G (n.C)                    D
I don't love you any-more, and I'd walk out the door.

Chorus 2:

G                      D      G                   D   B7
 You'd be down on your knees, you'd be calling to me...
               G6                     A7 (n.C)      (D)
But a tower of strength is something...   I'll never be.
