      [Intro] (x2)
G, D, G, A 

[Verse]
   Bm                      G
So go ahead and lie to yourself
                           A
And pretend that you're a ray of light
                A            Bm
When you're a broken candle
                              G
You're keeping time with yourself
                            A                A
When it'd all start moving way too fast for you to handle

[Chorus]
Bm
Short on breath
G
Heavy on time
     A
You lost the words
         Bm         A
But you found the rhyme
      G               A
It's all just poetry now
     A
The walls are singing
Bm    G     A
Hallelujah amen
      A
The walls are singing
Bm    G      A   A
Hallelujah amen

[Instrumental] (x2)
G, D, G, A

[Verse]
Bm                    G
It's so dark in the room
                      A
And the ceilings are high
N.C.
You know the feeling
         A               Bm
You've been here before
                   G
It's a broken old pew
                A
It's a echoing cry
       A
Don't sell yourself

[Chorus]
Bm
Short on breath
G
Heavy on time
     A
You lost the words
         Bm         A
But you found the rhyme
      G               A
It's all just poetry now
     A
The walls are singing
Bm    G     A
Hallelujah amen
      A
The walls are singing
Bm    G      A    A
Hallelujah amen
Bm    G      A
Hallelujah amen
      A
The walls are singing
Bm    G      A    A
Hallelujah amen

[Verse]
    Bm                            G
See we don't really care who you are
N.C.
We've kinda got this
A                          A
Non-exclusive policy on determining
           Bm
Exactly who we open up to
     G
And let into our families
      A                          A
Then who becomes a part of our united mass of harmony
     Bm
Now that's kinda become
      G
The thesis to this song
           A
Through suffering

Acceptance
A
Grief

[Verse]
And strife
        Bm
There's no way that your puzzle piece
G
Fits into our puzzle wrong
       A
Cause everyone is welcome
         A
On this stage that we call life
     Bm                           G
And we don't really care who you are
              A
Everyone is capable of looking up
      A
And wishing on a star
    Bm
So catch it so contagious
       G
This day dreamers disease
     A
And hope can be your sword
           A
Slaying darkness with belief
     Bm                           G
And we don't really care who you are
                   A
Regardless of how lost you are returning from
 A
Regardless of how far
    Bm
So bring me all the worst
          G
Of your broken bruised insane
       A
Cause that's the thing with music
         A
When it hits you fill no pain
    Bm
No matter what you did
    G
I promise we forgave it
                A
When all that's left is your voice
             A
You got no choice but to raise it
         Bm
All you broken hearts
           G
All you dejected dreams
              A
Just let yourself be free
               A
Because even broken wings
N.C.
Can fly away


[Solo] (x2)
Bm, G, A, A 

[Verse]
       Bm            G
Oh in time you will find
       A
That life's a painting
      A
And you're the artist
      Bm        G
Just open your eyes
      A
It's never too late
     A
To clear your canvass
    Bm
So paint me jealous
 G
Paint me rage
     A
For gods sake
          Bm   A
Paint me anything
    G
Just paint
            A
Your brush awaits

[Outro]
      A
The walls are singing
Bm    G      A
Hallelujah amen
              A
Yeah,  we're all just singing
Bm    G      A
Hallelujah amen
         A
Let your walls keep singing
Bm    G      A
Hallelujah amen
          A
Oh come on keep singing
Bm    G      A
Hallelujah amen
      A
The walls are singing
Bm    G      A
Hallelujah amen
      A
The walls sing you to sleep
Bm    G      A
Hallelujah amen
      A
One secret meant to
Bm        G      A
Keep you safe tonight
   A               Bm
I swear that everything
      G   A
Will be alright
