Fortress

D                F#m   E               D
I'll wait at the gates, or is it a fortress?
D               F#m   E            D
I'm calling the blame, just let me own it.
D                                   F#m    E
There are things I thought I could rise above,
D                                   F#m      E
And all the things I thought I was better than,
D                            F#m      E
And a coward might call it a conscience,
D                            F#m   E
And a liar might call it the truth
D                               F#m       E
Nothing could ever make me more frightened,
D                           F#m  E
Than the thought of hurting you.

[Pre-chorus]
D                                       E
Watching you float across the isle of sand,
                       F#m
Before the fire works began I close my eyes,
A                       D
And wrap my arms around you.
                                   E
Do you remember what I whispered love?
                                   F#m     A
Do you remember what I whispered, love?

[Chorus]
D                             E
This is how it's meant to be, this is where we're supposed to be.
F#m                      A
I don't think anyone has ever loved anyone
          D
The way I loved you.

[Verse]
D                F#m   E               D
So I wait at the gates, of your fortress.
D               F#m   E                 D
I'm calling the blame, won't you let me hold it?
D                                    F#m    E            D
And all the things I thought I could rise above, I could not
D                                  F#m       E        D
and all the things I thought I was better than, I am not.
D                            F#m      E
And a coward might call it a conscience,
D                            F#m   E
And a liar might call it the truth
D                               F#m       E
Nothing could ever make me more frightened,
D                           F#m  E
Than the thought of hurting you, how could I hurt you?

[Pre-chorus]
D                                       E
Watching you float across the isle of sand,
                       F#m
Before the fire works began I close my eyes,
A                       D
And wrap my arms around you.
                                   E
Do you remember what I whispered love?
                                   F#m     A
Do you remember what I whispered, love?

[Chorus]
D                             E
This is how it's meant to be, this is where we're supposed to be.
F#m                      A
I don't think anyone has ever loved anyone
          D                    E
The way I loved you, The way I love you.
          F#m            A
The way I love you.

D                             E
This is how it's meant to be, this is where we're supposed to be.
F#m                      A
I don't think anyone has ever loved anyone
          D                    E
The way I loved you, The way I love you.
          F#m            A
The way I love you.
