Key:
C G Am F We built a tall, tall tower
C G Am F Towards the sun, towards the sun
C G Am F Took some words and built a wall
C G Am F And called it love, called it love [Pre-Chorus]
G Am F And somewhere in all the talking
G Am F The meaning faded out [Chorus]
C G Oh, I wonder
Am F When did it all stop making sense?
C G Am F I don't understand
C G Am F I remember we were so sure, so innocent
C G Am Oh, but that was then
F C Am G Can we ever go back again?
F C Am G Can we ever go back?

[Verse]
C G Am F You're speaking a dead, dead language
C G Am F You don't sound like yourself
C G Am F I hope it's just lost in translation
C G Am F So why don't you show? Don't try to tell [Pre-Chorus]
G Am F And brick by brick we started crumbling
G Am Will I find you when it falls? [Chorus]
C G Oh, I wonder
Am F When did it all stop making sense?
C G Am F I don't understand
C G Am F I remember we were so sure, so innocent
C G Am Oh, but that was then
F C Can we ever go back? [Interlude]
C A Em [Bridge]
C Don't hold your breath
Am Look around
Em Try to add it up Pin it down
C G Am But you can't
C G Am F [Chorus]
C G Oh, I wonder
Am F When did it all stop making sense?
C G Am F I don't understand
C G Am F I remember we were so sure, so innocent
C G Am Oh, but that was then
F C Am G Can we ever go back again?
F C Am G Can we ever go back?
