BmDGG (A)
[Verse 1]
BmD
My mama told me, when I was younger
GG (A)
You better speak up, don't be a number
BmD
My daddy told me, when there was thunder
GG (A)
Go be the lightning, don't run for cover
[Pre-Chorus]
BmAF#mG
Who's gonna help the helpless, Sometimes we're all alone
BmAF#m (G)
These days we're all just looking, For a place that we call home
[Chorus]
GBm
Now we can't climb over, And you can't go 'round
ABm
Build them up, We'll tear them down
GBm
Brick by brick, Gonna watch them fall
ABm
Build more bridges, And tear down walls
[Verse]
GD
These walls! Are the mountains that we climb
ABmA
These walls, Are the great divide
GD
Brick by brick, Gonna watch them fall
ABm
Build more bridges, Tear down walls
[Verse 2]
BmD
The space between us, Is getting wider
GG (A)
We need this bar to, Light the fire
BmD
Show me the promise, Give me some dealing
GG (A)
There's too much hurting, We need some healing
[Pre-Chorus]
BmAF#mG
Who's gonna help the helpless, Sometimes we're all alone

These days we're all just looking, For a place that we call home
[Chorus]
GBm
Now we can't climb over, And you can't go 'round

Build them up, We'll tear them down

Brick by brick, Gonna watch them fall
ABm
Build more bridges, And tear down walls
[Verse]
GD
These walls! Are the mountains that we climb
ABmA
These walls, Are the great divide

Build more bridges, Tear down walls

I remember when the world was smaller
F#mG
And we both felt 10 feet taller
[Chorus]

Now we can't climb over, And you can't go 'round
