Fortress

	  		Verse 
D                F#m   E               D 
I'll wait at the gates, or is it a fortress? 
D               F#m   E            D 
I'm calling the blame, just let me own it. 
D                                   F#m    E 
There are things I thought I could rise above, 
D                                   F#m      E 
And all the things I thought I was better than, 
D                            F#m      E 
And a coward might call it a conscience, 
D                            F#m   E 
And a liar might call it the truth 
D                               F#m       E 
Nothing could ever make me more frightened, 
D                           F#m  E 
Than the thought of hurting you. 

Pre-Chorus 
D                                       E 
Watching you float across the isle of sand, 
                       F#m 
Before the fire works began I close my eyes, 
A                       D 
And wrap my arms around you. 
                                   E 
Do you remember what I whispered love? 
                                   F#m     A 
Do you remember what I whispered, love? 

Chorus 
D                             E 
This is how it's meant to be, this is where we're supposed to be. 
F#m                      A 
I don't think anyone has ever loved anyone 
          D 
The way I loved you. 

Verse 
D                F#m   E               D 
So I wait at the gates, of your fortress. 
D               F#m   E                 D 
I'm calling the blame, won't you let me hold it? 
D                                    F#m    E            D 
And all the things I thought I could rise above, I could not 
D                                  F#m       E        D 
and all the things I thought I was better than, I am not. 
D                            F#m      E 
And a coward might call it a conscience, 
D                            F#m   E 
And a liar might call it the truth 
D                               F#m       E 
Nothing could ever make me more frightened, 
D                           F#m  E 
Than the thought of hurting you, how could I hurt you? 

Pre-Chorus 
D                                       E 
Watching you float across the isle of sand, 
                       F#m 
Before the fire works began I close my eyes, 
A                       D 
And wrap my arms around you. 
                                   E 
Do you remember what I whispered love? 
                                   F#m     A 
Do you remember what I whispered, love? 

Chorus 
D                             E 
This is how it's meant to be, this is where we're supposed to be. 
F#m                      A 
I don't think anyone has ever loved anyone 
          D                    E 
The way I loved you, The way I love you. 
          F#m            A 
The way I love you.
 

D                             E 
This is how it's meant to be, this is where we're supposed to be. 
F#m                      A 
I don't think anyone has ever loved anyone 
          D                    E 
The way I loved you, The way I love you. 
          F#m            A 
The way I love you.
