Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Fortress Around Your Heart” dari Sting:

Gm9
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns have been pounding all through the night

Eb
It took a day to build the city
We walked through the streets in the afternoon

F#m9
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear

B7/4
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Chorus:
    Em     D/F#      G   Am         D
And if I built this fortress around your heart
    Em     D/F#      G   Am         D
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
    Em     D/F#      G   Am         D
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm
    Cm7      Dm7     Eb7+  F
And let me set the battlements on fire

Gm9
Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head

Eb
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead

F#m9
While the armies all are sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear

B7/4
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Repeat Chorus

Gm9
This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay

Eb
It took a day to build the city
We walked through it's streets this afternoon

F#m9
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks fear

B7/4
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
