Am  


[Verse 1]

Am                               Em
I feel at home with shadows from ghosts of the living
Am                           Em
I dance along to melodies as silent choirs sing
Am                             Em                     
I’m sick of always giving when there’s nothing left to lose
Am
This place we’re in is breaking
Em                      C
It’s trying to break me too


[Chorus]

              Am                        C
I built these walls to keep the outside world from me
         Em                                  Dm
And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind

It’s safer on the inside
Am                         C
Underneath where you can’t ever get to me
         Em                                   Dm
And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind
Dm
It’s safer on the inside


[Post-Chorus]

Am                 
(Built these walls)
Am
It’s safer on the inside
Am
(Built these walls)
Am
It’s safer on the inside


[Verse 2]

Am 
Chaos reigns inside of all of us
Em
All this pain it’s not where I belong
Am
It’s not my fate and you’re a hypocrite
Em
You’re the dying proof of it

Now I know
Am                             Em
Broken people just like you can be so dangerous
Am                                Em
Knowing you’ll survive by feeding off the rest of us


[Chorus]

              Am                        C
I built these walls to keep the outside world from me
         Em                                  Dm
And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind

It’s safer on the inside
Am                         C
Underneath where you can’t ever get to me
         Em                                   Dm
And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind

It’s safer on the inside

Am
(Built these walls)
It’s safer on the inside
C
(Built these walls)
It’s safer on the inside
Am
(Built these walls)
It’s safer on the inside
Dm
(Built these walls)
It’s safer on the inside


[Bridge]

Am  C
It's safer on the inside
Am   D
It's safer on the inside


[Chorus]

              Am                        C
I built these walls to keep the outside world from me
         Em                                  Dm
And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind
                    Am    C
It’s safer on the inside
                   Am     Dm
It’s safer on the inside

It's safer on the inside
Am                         C
Underneath where you can’t ever get to me
         Em                                   Dm
And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind

It's safer on the inside

Am
(Built these walls)
It’s safer on the inside
C
(Built these walls)
It’s safer on the inside
Am
(Built these walls)
It’s safer on the inside
Dm
(Built these walls)
It’s safer on the inside
