[Verse 1]
Bm               D 
My mama told me, when I was younger
G                     G          (A)
You better speak up, don't be a number
         Bm                        D 
My daddy told me, when there was thunder
G                    G                   (A)
Go be the lightning, don't run for cover

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm           A                 F#m             G
Who's gonna help the helpless, Sometimes we're all alone
Bm               A                 F#m             (G)
These days we're all just looking, For a place that we call home

[Chorus]
       G                          Bm 
Now we can't climb over, And you can't go 'round
  A                   Bm
Build them up, We'll tear them down
  G                    Bm 
Brick by brick, Gonna watch them fall
  A                      Bm
Build more bridges, And tear down walls

[Verse]
       G              D 
These walls! Are the mountains that we climb
       A              Bm      A
These walls, Are the great divide
 G                    D 
Brick by brick, Gonna watch them fall
 A                    Bm      
Build more bridges, Tear down walls

[Verse 2]
             Bm                   D 
The space between us, Is getting wider
             G                  G             (A)
We need this bar to, Light the fire
             Bm                   D 
Show me the promise, Give me some dealing
                 G                        G     (A)
There's too much hurting, We need some healing

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm           A                 F#m             G
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

Build them up, We'll tear them down

[Bridge]
Bm                   A
I remember when the world was smaller
F#m              G
And we both felt 10 feet taller

[Chorus]
       G                          Bm 
Now we can't climb over, And you can't go 'round

Build them up, We'll tear them down
