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

N.B
I remember when the world was smaller
And we both felt 10 feet taller
