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

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