We Build

It’s (G)big ger

than we thought,

we it’s (G)tall er than it (Am7)ought to be,

this (Bbsus2)pile some

of (F)rub ble

hold and (G)ru ins.

The (G)neigh bors must (Am7)talk.

It’s the (G)worst yard on

the block,

just (Bbsus2)branch

es and (F)boards

where it (G)walls stood.

Did it seem ing to (Csus2)you

like the (Em7)storm

just (Csus2)knew we weren’t quite (G)fin ished with the (Csus2)roof

when it (G)start ed?

So (Csus2)we build,

(Gsus2)we build.

We (Am7)clear a way

what (D7sus)was

and make (G)room for what will be.

If (Csus2)you hold the nails,

I’ll take the ham mer.

(G)I’ll hold it still if you’ll climb the lad der.

If (Am7)you will,

then (D7sus)I

(D7)will,

(G)build.

On

That’s why we (Csus2)build,

(Gsus2)we build.

We (Am7)clear a way

what (D7sus)was

and make (G)room for what will be.

If (Csus2)you hold the nails,

I’ll take the ham mer.

(G)I’ll hold it still if you’ll climb the lad der.

If (Am7)you will,

then (D7sus)I

(D7)will,

(G)build.

What I’m try ing to (Csus2)say,

in some (Em7)clum

sy (Csus2)way, is that it’s (G)you and on ly (Csus2)you,

not just for (G)now,

not just to (Csus2)day,

but it’s (G)you and on ly (Csus2)you

for (G)al ways.

So if (Csus2)you hold the nails,

I’ll take the ham mer.

(G)I’ll hold it still if you’ll climb the lad der.

And if (Am7)you will,

then (D7sus)I

(D7)will,

(G)build.
