E
Better build your house on a rock
A
Or watch it crumble and fail
E B7 E
Better build your love with hammer and nails
E A
I see it in the darkness as if it was broad daylight
E B7
I feel it down inside my soul when I hold you tight
E A
It takes much more than passion for love to prevail
E B7 E
Gotta raise it up with hammer and nails
Chorus:
A D E
Hammer and nails we're gonna build this love
A B7
Faith and hope, flesh and blood
E A
Lay that firm foundation down to the last detail
E B7 E
Gonna build our love with hammer and nails
You build one room for laughter, you build one room for tears
This ain't no game, no house of cards, It’s gonna take us years
A vow thats's only spoken comes to no avail
Put'em in your hands, hammer and nails
