Em D/F# G Am C
I�m gonna die in these four walls
Em D/F# G Am C

In these four walls

Up on the rooftop I can remember

Borders I had to break
A#
Now I can see I had this life
Cm D/F#
To make to make

Verse 3

Em D/F# G Am C
I�m gonna miss your southern drawl
Em D/F# G Am C
A baby�s footsteps in an empty hall
Em D/F# G Am C
And every little thing I can ever recall

In these four walls these four walls

(walk down to Em)

these four walls
