[chorus]
          C#m
Tell me, how do I read you
     B                F#m
when all I see is a stare?
            C#m
How do you look
         B                      F#m
for the signs when nothing is there
         A
So you think
          C#m                  E
When the water won't cut the flame
        F#m                 A
And the anger drives you insane
          C#m
Tell me, how does it look
      B                    C#m
from behind your walls of pain?

Tell me, how do I read you
     B                F#m
when all I see is a stare?
            C#m          B
How do you look for the signs
                  F#m
when nothing is there
         A
So you think
          C#m                  E
When the water won't cut the flame
        F#m                 A
And the anger drives you insane
          C#m
Tell me, how does it look
      B                    C#m
from behind your walls of pain?

[refrain]
          C#m    B
Walls of pain
   F#m
Behind the walls,
                     C#m        B    F#m   A
bеhind the walls of pain (Pain)

[verse]
          C#m                B
When you just can't take anymore
         F#m                        A
And the last lights fade from the shore
          C#m
Tell me, how does it look
      E           B/D#     C#m
from behind your walls of pain?

[pre-chorus]
G#m
I've been thinking
  B
Spend my time worrying
 F#m                              C#m
About the way you don't seem the same
 G#m
Hoping, waiting
 B
For back to how you were again
         F#m
There's gotta be
                 A    B    C#m    B
something I can say

[refrain]
 F#m
Behind the walls,
                     C#m        B    F#m  A
behind the walls of pain (Pain)

[bridge]
          C#m                B
When the faces all look the same
        F#m                  A
And the angels cry out your name
          C#m
Tell me, how does it look
      E           B/D#     C#m
from behind your walls of pain?

[pre-chorus]
G#m
I've been thinking
  B                       F#m
Spending my time worrying about the way
                    C#m
You don't seem the same
 G#m
Hoping, waiting
   B
I fall back on your word again
      F#m                      A    B
It's gotta be something I can say

[chorus]
          C#m
Tell me, how do I read you
     B                F#m
when all I see is a stare?
     C#m
And how do you look
         B                      F#m
for the signs when nothing is there
         A
So you think
          C#m                E
But I'm stepping out on the ledge
    F#m                   A
So before you go over the edge
          C#m
Tell me, how does it look from
   E         B/D#     C#m
behind your walls of pain?

[post-chorus]
   E         B/D#     C#m
Behind your walls of pain
   E         B/D#     C#m
Behind your walls of pain
