Intro  Em  C  Am 
 
                Em 
Some things are meant to be secret and not to be heard 
        C                          Am 
So if I tell you, just keep it and don't say a word 
               Em 
Yeah, when the doors are all closing, it's bound to get loud 
                 C                        Am 
'Cause all these bodies are hoping to get addicted to sound 
 
Em 
Oh, not everything is so primitive 
C                  Am 
Oh, but I'm giving it 
 
                     C                                     G 
If these walls could talk, I'd hope they wouldn't say anything 
                             Am 
Because they've seen way too many things 
  C 
'Cause we'd fall from grace, we're falling 
G 
Yeah, we'd fall from grace 
         Am          C                                      G 
If these walls could talk, I'd hope they wouldn't say anything 
                             Am

'Cause we'd fall from grace, we're falling 
G 
Yeah, we'd fall from grace 
         Am          Em    C    Am 
If these walls could talk

If these walls could talk 
                     Em    C    Am 
If these walls could talk 
 
            Em 
I'd love to marry your face 
Em 
I wouldn't dare let you down 
               C 
Don't let that glass go to waste 
             Am 
Oh, you're a queen but uncrowned 
 
Em 
Oh, not everything is so primitive 
C                  Am 
Oh, but I'm giving it 
 
                     C                                      G
