Capo 1 fret

[Verse 1]
Am
My mama told me
C
When I was younger
F
You better speak up
F
Don't be a number
Am
My daddy told me
               C
When there was thunder
F
Go be the lightning
F
Don't run for cover
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am          G
Who's gonna help the helpless
Em             F
Sometimes we're all alone
Am               G
These days we're all just looking
Em
For a place that we call home
 
 
[Chorus]
       F
Now we can't climb over
         Am
And you can't go 'round
  G
Build them up
       Am
We'll tear them down
  F
Brick by brick
       Am
Gonna watch them fall
  G
Build more bridges
     Am
And tear down walls
 
       F
These walls
         C
Are the mountains that we climb
       G
These walls
         Am      G
Are the great divide
 F
Brick by brick
       C
Gonna watch them fall
 G
Build more bridges
  Am
Tear down walls
 
 
[Verse 2]
             Am
The space between us
            C
Is getting wider
             F
We need this bar to
           F
Light the fire
             Am
Show me the promise
             C
Give me some dealing
                 F
There's too much hurting
                F
We need some healing
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am           G
Who's gonna help the helpless
Em             F
Sometimes we're all alone
Am               G
These days we're one step closer
Em               F
To that place that we call home
 
 
[Chorus]
       F
Now we can't climb over
         Am
And you can't go 'round
  G
Build them up
       Am
We'll tear them down
  F
Brick by brick
       Am
Gonna watch them fall
  G
Build more bridges
     Am
And tear down walls
 
       F
These walls
         C
Are the mountains that we climb
       G
These walls
         Am      G
Are the great divide
 F
Brick by brick
       C
Gonna watch them fall
 G
Build more bridges
  Am
Tear down walls

[Bridge]
 N.C
I remember when the world was smaller
 
And we both felt 10 feet taller
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       F
Now we can't climb over
         Am
And you can't go 'round

We'll tear them down
