Intro: A  D  A  D 

A 
I don't wanna look 
Like some kind of fool 
          D 
I don't wanna break 
My heart over you 
     Bm 
I'm building a wall 
      D 
Everyday it's getting higher 
      F#m 
This time I won't end up 
          A 
Another victim of love 

A 
You say that I could 
            D 
Show some emotion 
That I've been 
          A           D 
Keeping secrets from you 
          Bm 
But I can see through 
           E 
All your sweet talk 

 C#m                D 
And all of your affection untrue 
           A 
I'm gonna find you out 
       Bm 
If I scream and I shout 
            D              E 
You won't break down my protection

          A 
Another victim of love 

           A 
I'm gonna lock up 
                   D 
What I'm feeling inside 
Ain't no way you can 
  A             D 
Break down the door 
            Bm                    E 
Cause this time I've learned my lesson 
         C#m                      D 
You can take this declaration of war 
A  
Step right back 
             Bm 
Put on your coat and your hat 
         D             E 
Gonna avoid all complications 
A
