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

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