              Verse 1 
G                                C                  G 
Our room is filled with silence, I guess we said it all 
                                                          D 
I don't know when I'd seen our bedroom, so long I can't recall 
         G 
Cause we built this thing between us 
C                       G 
I'm not sure what's the cost 
G                           D                         G 
As I swallowed all my pride and tonight I climbed the wall 
 
C                                               G 
Tonight I climbed the wall, and took her by the hand 
                      C                              D 
We've come too far to fall, couldn't stand to see it end 
C    D                 G 
So tonight I climb the wall 
 
Verse 2 
       G                                 C                G 
Makin' love is so much sweeter, when you love the one you hold 
                                                             D 
After all these years of holdin' her, you'd think by now I'd know 
G                           C                     G 
Now as we lie here together all our troubles seem so small 
                                   D                           G 
Just these satin sheets between us cause tonight I climbed the wall 
 
Repeat Chorus and Tag
