Wallflower Written & Lyrics : Peter Gabriel Album : New Blood (2011) [Intro] A/D D A/D D A/D D A/D D [Verse 1]
A/D       D        A/D     D
  Six by six, from wall to wall

E/A               A      E/A           A
  Shutters on the windows, no light at all

B/E           Em             B/E         Em
  Damp on the floor, you got damp in the bed

      D/G           G              D/G         G
They try to get you crazy, get you out of your head

         A/D       D              A/D     D
And they feed you scraps and they feed you lies

    E/A         A     E/A        A
To lower your defences, no compromise

B/E           Em        B/E        Em
Nothing you can do, the day can be long

     D/G             G              D/G             G
Your mind is working overtime, your body's not too strong

A/D  D  A/D   D
Hold on

E/A  A  E/A  A
Hold on

B/E  Em  B/E  Em
Hold on

D/G  G  D/G  G
Hold on

A/D  D  A/D  D
Hold on

E/A  A  E/A  A
Hold on
[Pre-Chorus]
     B/E          Em         B/E       Em
They put you in a box so you can't get hurt

         D/G           G           D/G          G
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
[Chorus]
A       Bm   D/Gb
Hold on

         G                 Em       D
you have gambled with your own life

D  Gbm/Db  Bm       G      A    Bm  D/Gb
       you face the night alone

          G               Em     D
While the builders of the cages

D  Gbm/Db     Bm       G        A     Bm  D/Gb
   Sleep with bullets, bars and stone

            G               Em       D
They do not see the road to freedom

D  Gbm/Db   Bm         G         A
   That you build with flesh and bone
[Verse 2]
A/D           D        A/D              D
They take you out, the light burns your eyes

       E/A     A   E/A          A
To the talking room, it's no surprise

B/E    Em                 B/E         Em
Loaded questions from the clean white coats

      D/G             G               D/G         G
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hippocratic Oath

              A/D    D         A/D           D
They tell you how to behave, behave as their guest

    E/A       A              E/A     A
You want to resist them, you do your best

     B/E              Em           B/E      Em
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond

D/G                   G                D/G       G
For all that they are doing there's no way to respond

A/D  D   A/D   D
Hold on

E/A  A  E/A  A
Hold on
[Pre-Chorus]
     B/E          Em         B/E       Em
They put you in a box so you can't get hurt

         D/G           G           D/G          G
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
[Chorus]

you have gambled with your own life

       you face the night alone

          G               Em     D
While the builders of the cages

   Sleep with bullets, bars and stone

            G               Em       D
They do not see the road to freedom

D  Gbm/Db   Bm         G         D
   That you build with flesh and bone
[Interlude] Em G/B C Am G G Bm/Gb Em C D Em D/B C Am G G Bm/Gb Em D [Bridge]
A              Bm
Though you may disappear

You're not forgotten here

Em         D
And I will say to you

D Gbm/Db  Bm      G     A
  I will  do what I can do

        Bm
You may disappear

D/Gb       G
You're not forgotten here

Em         D
And I will say to you

D Gbm/Db  Bm      G     A
  I will  do what I can do
