Lyrics
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.
