Chords with lyrics
Key: C majorC
Intro:
FF
Verse 1:
A minorAm
I will bring you ruin
FF
In everything I do
A minorAm C majorC FF
It’s never my intention but it happens all the same
A minorAm
It starts with love and comfort
FF
Becomes a strength of will
A minorAm C majorC FF
But all that strength made rubble of those towers we built
Chorus:
A minorAm C majorC
Because brick by brick you built us
E minorEm FF
And I’d fill in the cracks.
A minorAm C majorC
Nothing quite prepares you for
E minorEm FF
When they don’t come back
A minorAm C majorC
I wish I’d done things different
E minorEm FF
I wish that I’d been brave
A minorAm C majorC FF C majorC
I wish I’d known these stones were something I could save
Verse 2:
C majorC G+G
Our mortar was your laughter
FF A minorAm
And you hurled curses at the land
FF A minorAm
We didn’t talk. We made universes
C majorC FF
Out of bitten lips and broken hands
C majorC G+G
And you said I love you less
FF A minorAm
Than when It all began
FF
And I said fewer
A minorAm C majorC FF
Cos I make jokes to show how broken I really am
A minorAm G+G
In the wreck of all we burnt
FF
Stands our piano like a wound
A minorAm
I play our song
G+G FF
To see if it’s in tune
/And I'll sing silence
A minorAm G+G
But you, you sit next to me
FF C majorC
And your finger brushes mine
A minorAm G+G
And I promise to be patient
FF A minorAm FF
And you promise to be, promise to be kind
Chorus:
A minorAm C majorC
Cos brick by brick you built us
E minorEm FF
Of the earth, the silt and ground
A minorAm C majorC
We can rest, you say, in the pieces
E minorEm FF
Of what’s left, or of what what we’ve found
A minorAm C majorC
I wish I’d done things different
E minorEm FF
I wish I’d made it right
A minorAm C majorC
But we’ll burn a hundred theatres
E minorEm FF
If it means we get the wallpaper right
A minorAm C majorC
I’ll brick by brick rebuild us
E minorEm FF
Out of hows and whys not whens
A minorAm C majorC
Nothing quite prepared me for
E minorEm FF
When that piano sang again
A minorAm C majorC
Tomorrow I’ll do things different
E minorEm FF
Tomorrow I’ll be brave
A minorAm C majorC
Tomorrow I’ll be brave
E minorEm FF
Tomorrow I’ll be brave
You’ll make me brave
