[Verse 1]
Am Dm
You can't keep a love in with windows and walls
Em Am
Even twelve rooms connected by marble floored halls
Am Dm
Can't keep a love in being scared it will cease
Em
You can't see the big picture
Am
while you're staring at the crease
Am Dm
Play it in any language, it's an old loser's game
Em
Wisdom comes in all different ways
Am
But this ignorance is all the same
Am Dm
One wants to go, one tries to stall
Em Am
You can't keep a love in with windows and walls
[Chorus]
Am Dm
In the hour of the dead you walk the floor
Em Am
Where the battle will be fought
Am Dm
You may not learn the lesson but
E Am
the lesson will be taught
Dm E
The silence will not comfort you
Am E Dm
When you speak the words will tell
Em Am
The breaking of a spell
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
You can't keep a love in with windows and walls
Em Am
Build the beams higher, nothing is solved
Am Dm
There's locks on the window where the cats always curl
Em Am
Through those locks you can't stop a wild and raging world
[Chorus]
Am Dm
In the hour of the dead you walk the floor
Em Am
Where the battle will be fought
Am Dm
You may not learn the lesson but
E Am
the lesson will be taught
Dm E
The silence will not comfort you
Am E Dm
When you speak the words will tell
Em Am
The breaking of a spell
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
You used to want everything, now you want peace
Em Am
If it can't be with him, then within you at least
Am Dm
When love learns to run before it can crawl
Em Am
You can't keep a love in with windows and walls
