Capo 4 Fret
 
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
 
[Chorus]
 
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
 
[Chorus]
 
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
 
[Chorus]
 
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
