[Intro]
 
D  G  D  A     D  G  D  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
   G        A         G            A          D
If these old walls, if these old walls could speak.
G          D         A       Bm     D          A               G
The things that they remember well, parties and people raisin'hell
            A           D       G
A couple in love livin' week to week
      A7      D         G                    A
Rooms full of laughter, if these  walls could speak.
 
[Verse 2]
 
 
G           A         G       A           D
 If these old halls, if hallowed halls could talk.
G          D       A       Bm                  D        A      G
These would have a tale to tell, the sun goin' down and dinner bells.
          A          D        G
Children playin' at hide and seek.
     A7       D           G                    A     G
From floor to rafters, if these old Halls could speak.
 
[Chorus 1]
 
                    A        D   A   G
They would tell you that I'm sorry.
                       A         D  A  G
For bein' and cold and blind and weak.
                              Bm                  A       G     Em
They would tell you that it's only that I have a stubborn streak.
G                   A
If these halls could speak.
 
D  G  A  D   G  A
 
[Verse 3]
 
G            A         G         A             D
If these old fashioned, old window panes were eyes.
  G          D         A       Bm
I guess they would have seen it all.
             D      A             G
Each little tear and silent footfall.
           A             D      G
And every dream that we came to seek,
   A7       D       G                       A     G
Or followed after, if these old walls could speak.
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                     A     D     A  G
They would tell you that I owe you,
                   A   D A   G
More that I could ever pay.
                       Bm
Here's someone who really needs you baby,
           A   G  Em Bm
Don't ever go away.
       Em                     A   G
That's what these walls would say.
 G                 Bm
If they weren't so meeek
G                    A       D   G  D  A  Em  D
If these walls could speak.
