[Verse 1]
Bb             C
Listen, if you listen you will hear an endless
Bb             C
heartbeat on the inside, through the
Bb             C
walls the sound is crawling down the corridors and halls
Bb                                         C
it cracks the ceiling, the windows and the doors
         Bb
well the rest won't listen though the walls have ears
         C
but they never really look they just stand and stare
         Bb                         C
they're all standing staring at the walls

[Chorus]
Ab                         Cm
who put the writing on the walls?
                 Ab
will no-one ever know?
                          F
Oh, well I don't mind the walls

[Verse 2]
Bb                     C
Tell me, why don't you tell me?
Bb                     C
have you got nothing to say?
Bb                                   C
tell me where in hell this place is, tell me why I get no answers
Bb                         C
am I talking, taking to the walls?
Bb                                    C
so it's running, jumping, standing stil,well I think I've had enough of it all
Bb                                C
get your hands up, up against the wall

[Chorus]
Ab                         Cm
who put the writing on the walls?
                 Ab
will no-one ever know?
                          F
Oh, well I don't mind the walls

through the
Bb             C
walls the sound is crawling down the corridors and halls
Bb                                         C
it cracks the ceiling, the windows and the doors
         Bb
well the rest won't listen though the walls have ears
         C
but they never really look they just stand and stare
         Bb                         C
they're all standing staring at the walls
         Bb                         C
they're all standing staring at the walls
         Bb                         C
they're all standing staring at the walls

[Chorus]
Ab                         Cm
who put the writing on the walls?
                 Ab
will no-one ever know?
                          F
Oh, well I don't mind the walls

[Chorus]
Ab                         Cm
Who put the writing on the wall?
Ab
who fights and runs away?
                    Cm
the minutes and the hours pass him
                Ab                                  Cm
tracing out the days, the days and nights drag into years
                Ab
and no-one ever knows
                          F
Oh, well I don't mind the walls
