 D       A        Bm
Make my house of bricks
           G
And I'll stick
here when the world
       D        A     Bm      G
Comes crashing down around me
 D        A      Bm
Make your arms a willow tree
     G                 D
And you can bend with me
     A           G     A
Anywhere that I'm going

Chorus:
D               A
Sometimes it's hard to see
Bm        G
Anything lovely
         D       A
All the people around me
              Bm
Going for the money
and the money
        G
And the ego
D           A
How can you ask me why
  Bm             G
I need to know before I try?
      D         A
I've got to be sure there's more
         Bm
Than the money and the money
        G
And the ego

Keep your eyes on me
And I'll look to you so I can see
What I am here for
Pull the wool over my eyes
Please kiss this day goodbye
Only you can get me going

Chorus:
D               A
Sometimes it's hard to see
Bm        G
Anything lovely
         D       A
All the people around me
              Bm
Going for the money
and the money
        G
And the ego
D           A
How can you ask me why
  Bm             G
I need to know before I try?
      D         A
I've got to be sure there's more
          G
Than the money and the money
         A
And the ego

Bm                G
When giving up is all you got
                 D
And giving up is all you want
You hear yourself say
     A
you lost the will The power
Bm                G
When giving up is all you got
                 D
And giving up is all you want
                   A
Don't be afraid to sit down
             G
In your shower
                           A
You can stay in there for hours

Make my house of bricks
And I'll stick here when the world
Comes crashing down around me

Chorus:
E               B
Sometimes it's hard to see
C#m       A
Anything lovely
         E       B
All the people around me
              C#m
Going for the money
and the money
        A
And the ego
 E           B
How can you ask me why
  C#m            A
I need to know before I try?
      E         B
