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

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