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

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