Brick By Brick

	  		
 

G 
The weight of my words 
         Am 
Are like feathers from a bird 
   C 
My mouth, it moves 
                     G 
But you won't hear a thing 

G 
'Cause I've dug myself deep 
                 Am 
I managed to fit both my hands and feet 
       C 
All my little white lies 
                               G 
Smell like a big old bucket of bleach 

       Em      Cadd9    D 
In one ear and out your other 
            Em 
So lock and key 
          Cadd9       D 
You won't open up for me 



G           Am 
So brick by brick 
                            C 
I am breaking through these walls 
                    Em 
Oh, between you and me 
               Cadd9               
I'm not giving up 
Em             Am 
I'm not giving up 



G 
And it feels like you're in China 
    Am 
And I am in Peru 
    C                          G 
Whenever I am sleeping next to you 

G 
We can hear the crickets singing 
    Am 
Oh, all throughout the night 
    C 
Oh, boy can't you just get used 
                G 
To something so right? 

           Em 
And sure I confess 
      Cadd9                  D 
I'm a mess, I'm a mess of mistakes 
                    Em 
But please count to ten 
                  Cadd9         D 
Before you go and throw it all away 

 

G           Am 
So brick by brick 
                            C 
I am breaking through these walls 
                    Em 
Oh, between you and me 
               Cadd9               
I'm not giving up  
Em             Am 
I'm not giving up 

          C 
'Cause if you give up 
     G                     Em 
Then what am I supposed to do? 
C 
All our dreams 
Am              Em           A 
Never will come true without you 


G           Am 
So brick by brick 
                            C 
I am breaking through these walls 
                    Em 
Oh, between you and me 
               Cadd9       
I'm not giving up 
Em             Am 
I'm not giving up on us
