[Verse 1]
A                          Asus2/G#
when I was young maybe 7 or 8 years old
F#m                                F#m/E
looking for you dad it's getting so late and cold
D       E                    A
and you still hadn’t come home
A                            Asus2/G#
mum was yelling at you said you couldn’t stay
F#m                                F#m/E
you took a hit from the bottle and drove away
D       E                A
but I knew where you’d go

[Chorus]
A                 Asus2/G#
you built a tower round your heart
F#m                    F#m/E
four walls of cardboard in the dark
D
I know you slept there once
E
down where the river runs
A                     Asus2/G#
you told me son you’ll learn one day
F#m                 F#m/E
sometimes you try to run away
D
I thought you’d given up
E
down where the river runs

[Verse 2]
A                          Asus2/G#
all alone you were gone for 3/4 days
F#m                            F#m/E
by the bridge cuz the water made you feel safe
D          E                      A
like your problems would wash away
A                                Asus2/G#
they all said I was a victim of a broken home
F#m                                       F#m/E
you built this castle but it crumbled so I made my own
D         E
but it fell down anyway

[Chorus]
A                 Asus2/G#
you built a tower round your heart
F#m                    F#m/E
four walls of cardboard in the dark
D
I know you slept there once
E
down where the river runs
A                     Asus2/G#
you told me son you’ll learn one day
F#m                 F#m/E
sometimes you try to run away
D
I thought you’d given up
E
down where the river runs

[Verse 3]
A                             Asus2/G#
you were a god just holding me in your arms
F#m                                  F#m/E
dry my eyes in the strongest of thunderstorms
D        E                       A
till the skies turned back to blue
A                                   Asus2/G#
now I’m older, I’ve been wanting to turn back time
F#m                               F#m/E
say all the words that I needed to by your side
D          E              A Let Ring
now you’re gone I miss you

[Chorus]
A                 Asus2/G#
you built a tower round your heart
F#m                    F#m/E
four walls of cardboard in the dark
D
I know you slept there once
E
down where the river runs
A                     Asus2/G#
you told me son you’ll learn one day
F#m                 F#m/E
sometimes you try to run away
D
I thought you’d given up
E
down where the river runs
