We Build

It's (G)bigger than we thought, we it's taller than it (Am7)ought to be,

this (Bbsus2)pile some of (F)rubble hold and (G)ruins.

(Am7)The (G)neighbors must (Am7)talk.

It's the (G)worst yard on the block,

just (Bbsus2)branches and (F)boards where it (G)walls stood.

(Am7)Did it seem ing to (Csus2)you like the (Em7)storm just (Csus2)knew we weren't quite (G)finished with the (Csus2)roof when it (G)started?

(Am7)So (Csus2)we build,

(Gsus2)we build.

We (Am7)clear away what (D7sus)was (D7)and make (G)room for what will be.

If (Csus2)you hold the nails,

I'll take the hammer.

(G)I'll hold it still if you'll climb the ladder.

If (Am7)you will, then (D7sus)I (D7)will,

(G)build.

(Am7)On That's why we (Csus2)build,

(Gsus2)we build.

We (Am7)clear away what (D7sus)was (D7)and make (G)room for what will be.

If (Csus2)you hold the nails,

I'll take the hammer.

(G)I'll hold it still if you'll climb the ladder.

If (Am7)you will, then (D7sus)I (D7)will,

(G)build.

(Em7)What I'm trying to (Csus2)say, in some (Em7)clumsy (Csus2)way,

is that it's (G)you and only (Csus2)you,

not just for (G)now, not just (Csus2)today,

but it's (G)you and only (Csus2)you for (G)always.

(D7)So if (Csus2)you hold the nails,

I'll take the hammer.

(G)I'll hold it still if you'll climb the ladder.

And if (Am7)you will, then (D7sus)I (D7)will,

(G)build.
