        A#m
My mama told me
           C#
When I was younger
            F#
You better speak up
                G#
Don't be a number
         A#m
My daddy told me
                C#
When there was thunder
           F#
Go be the lightning
                  G#
Don't run for cover

A#m          G#
Who's gonna help the helpless
Fm              F#
Sometimes we're all alone
A#m              G#
These days we're all just looking
Fm
For a place that we call home

Chorus:
       F#
Now we can't climb over
         A#m
And you can't go 'round
 G#
Build them up
       A#m
We'll tear them down
  F#
Brick by brick
       A#m
Gonna watch them fall
 G#
Build more bridges
     A#m
And tear down walls

       F#
These walls
         C#
Are the mountains that we climb
       G#
These walls
         A#m    G#
Are the great divide
 F#
Brick by brick
       C#
Gonna watch them fall
 G#
Build more bridges
Tear down walls

The space between us
Is getting wider
We need the spark to
Light the fire
Show me the promise
Give me some feeling
There's too much hurting
We need some healing

Who's gonna help the helpless
Sometimes we're all alone
These days we're one step closer
To that place that we call home

Chorus

       F#
These walls
         C#
Are the mountains that we climb
       G#
These walls
         A#m     G#
Are the great divide
 F#
Brick by brick
       C#
Gonna watch them fall
 G#
Build more bridges
  A#m
Tear down walls

I remember when the world was smaller
And we both felt 10 feet taller

Chorus

These walls
Are the mountains that we climb
These walls
Are the great divide
Brick by brick
Gonna watch them fall
Build more bridges
Tear down these walls

       F#
These walls
       G#
These walls
       F#
These walls
  A#m
Tear down walls
       F#
These walls
       G#
These walls
       F#
These walls
  A#m
Tear down walls
