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