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