Written by Phil Collins
C I can hear thru' these walls Bm7 I can hear it when they're foolin' around I can hear thru' these walls And I hear ev'ry sign, ev'ry sound I can hear thru' these walls In the dark with the shades pulled down Em D Ev'ry word that they say G Asus4 Ev'ry noise they make feels it's coming my way G7 My fav'rite moment Putting the glass up next to the wall Imagination Tho' I see nothing, I hear it all Putting my sign up Do not disturb me, speak or shout, Bm F#m inside out Bm F#m Oh mind my clothes, they're all laid out I can see thru' my windows I can see the girls and the boys I can see thru' my windows And I can imagine the noise I can see thru' my windows I can see them playing with toys Oh I hope it won't end If I promise not to touch, just be a friend Life is so lonely I don't get high off just being me I like pretending Wanting to touch them, wanting to see It's only normal Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cos it's alright They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight Am7 Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage G No way in, no way out, Am7 and it gets so lonely Am I really asking a lot G Just to reach out and touch somebody Em7 D 'Cos when I look thru' my windows or open my door G Asus4 I can feel it all around me I can hear thru' these walls I can hear it when they're foolin' around I can hear thru' these walls And I hear ev'ry sight, ev'ry sound I can hear thru' these walls In the dark with the shades pulled down Ev'ry word that they say Ev'ry noise they make feels it's coming my way C Am7 Ah yeah
