D
People are sad and I know why
With no chance to live before you die
GCG
You get pretty sick if you hafta keep it inside
Dsus4-D, Dsus4-DD
I wanna build a house where an ad don't scream
I wanna leave in peace - quietly
GCG
I wanna have a place of love & safety
Dsus4-D, Dsus4-DD
People oughta live how & where they want
People oughta have respect in front
GCG
People oughta get along pretty O.K.
Dsus4-D, Dsus4-DEmA
So get off my dick
GCGD
I'm building it brick by brick
CGD
Brick by brick
I'm building a house where I can think
And have some balance and dignity
I'm building a house where no one can hurt me
I'm buidling a house where the weak are strong
I'm building a house with a real song
I'm using a faith that is immortal
I'm building it with simplicity
And the way that we feel, you and me
I'm building it with what I believe in
So get off my dick
'cause I'm building this
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
DG
Now I'm looking at just a little time
Em
So be it
A
I want to
DC
be true to my simple heart
EmA
And not put nothing else above it
