            Em        C9        Em    C9
Love is the glue that hold us together
          Em                G                  Am   D
Faith and believing is the key, this door of forever
         Em      C9                Em     C9
Baby you and I, we're every reason on earth
         Em                G
Now and again, it's always us
            Am                  D
Against the world, against the world

Chorus:
         Em
When the rain fell
          C
And the flood came
         G
And the wind blew hot
        D               Em
Like a hammer on these walls
            C                D
We didn't crack or break or fall
                          Em C D
We built this house on a rock
                 Em C D
This house on a rock

There is a time
To face stormy weather
But we are always standing strong
A lifetime together
Baby, you and I
We don't regret anything
Now it's the two of us again
Against the wind, against the wind

Chorus

C
Brick by brick, we have set it up
D
Oh men, if this walls could talk!
C
Bit by bit, based it on trust
D
We gave it all we got

Chorus

We built this house on a rock, on a rock
We built this house on a rock, on a rock
