Verse
Am
My mama told me
C
When I was younger
F
You better speak up
F
Don't be a number
Am
My daddy told me
C
When there was thunder
F
Go be the lightning
F
Don't run for cover
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
Who's gonna help the helpless
Em F
Sometimes we're all alone
Am G
These days we're all just looking
Em
For a place that we call home
[Chorus]
F
Now we can't climb over
Am
And you can't go 'round
G
Build them up
Am
We'll tear them down
F
Brick by brick
Am
Gonna watch them fall
G
Build more bridges
Am
And tear down walls
F
These walls
C
Are the mountains that we climb
G
These walls
Am G
Are the great divide
F
Brick by brick
C
Gonna watch them fall
G
Build more bridges
Am
Tear down walls
[Verse 2]
Am
The space between us
C
Is getting wider
F
We need this bar to
F
Light the fire
Am
Show me the promise
C
Give me some dealing
F
There's too much hurting
F
We need some healing
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
Who's gonna help the helpless
Em F
Sometimes we're all alone
Am G
These days we're one step closer
Em F
To that place that we call home
[Chorus]
F
Now we can't climb over
Am
And you can't go 'round
G
Build them up
Am
We'll tear them down
F
Brick by brick
Am
Gonna watch them fall
G
Build more bridges
Am
And tear down walls
F
These walls
C
Are the mountains that we climb
G
These walls
Am G
Are the great divide
F
Brick by brick
C
Gonna watch them fall
G
Build more bridges
Am
Tear down walls
