[Verse]

 G                                        Em
The world says you’re ready when you’re eighteen
    D                         G
And I was no exception to the rule.
G                       C
Eager to try my hand and prove to them that I was a man
       D                           G
Not an ounce of fear in anything I do.
        C                 D
Yeah, I thought I knew it all


[Chorus]

      G                    C
Turns out I didn’t have a clue
C            D          G
Before these walls were blue.


[Verse 2]

 G                                  C
I remember sitting there in that old rocker
D                           G
3am trying to get you back asleep
       G            C
When I found myself laughing at you laughing
D                                      G
Wishing the hands of time that I could cheat.
        C                   D
Yeah, I thought that I knew love


[Chorus]

      G                    C
Turns out I didn’t have a clue
C            D    C              D          G
Before these walls, before these walls were blue.


[Bridge]

Em                 D
I believe in Heaven, I believe in magic,
C                                 Am
I believe in a life besides these walls


[Verse 3]

Now I believe
   G                              C
In dinosaurs, in toys, trains and baseball
D                             G
What you’re gonna be for Halloween
G                       C
I'll be the villain and you will be the hero
    D                                   G
And save the day the way that you saved me.
        C                D
Yeah, I thought I knew myself,


[Chorus]

      G                    C
Turns out I didn’t have a clue
C            D    C              D
Before these walls, before these walls
C            D          G
Before these walls were blue.
