A augmentedA | FF Dm/F |

VERSE 1:
A augmentedA               FF    Dm/F
 I hit a wall, I never felt so low, so low
A augmentedA                      FF     Dm/F
 Like a waterfall, my tears dropped to the floor, the floor
    A augmentedA               FF    Dm/F
 They left a swimming pool of salted crimes, crimes
   A augmentedA                FF
 Oh, what could I do to change your mind?
 n.c.
 Nothing


PRE-CHORUS 1:
  A augmentedA                   FF Dm/F
I'm bracing for the pain and I am letting go
  A augmentedA                    FF  Dm/F
I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole


CHORUS:
A augmentedA                   FF   Dm/F
 I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
A augmentedA                     FF   Dm/F
 Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
A augmentedA               FF   Dm/F
 And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless
A augmentedA               FF  Dm/F
 But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all,  watch the fall


POST-CHORUS 1:
A augmentedA           FF        Dm/F
 You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
A augmentedA           n.c.
 You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

VERSE 2:
A augmentedA                     FF        Dm/F
 Yeah I hit a wall, I prayed that I would make it through, make it through
A augmentedA                FF          Dm/F
 I can't survive a life that's without you, that's without you, yeah
A augmentedA               FF       Dm/F
 And I will rise up from the ashes now, the ashes now
A augmentedA                       FF     Dm/F
 Oh, the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving's failure, yeah


PRE-CHORUS 2:
   A augmentedA                   FF   Dm/F
I was bracing for the pain and I am letting go
 A augmentedA                      FF  Dm/F
I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole


CHORUS:
A augmentedA                   FF   Dm/F
 I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
A augmentedA                     FF   Dm/F
 Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
A augmentedA               FF   Dm/F
 And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless
A augmentedA               FF  Dm/F
 But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all,  watch the fall


POST-CHORUS 2:
A augmentedA           FF        Dm/F
 You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
A augmentedA           FF        Dm/F
 You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
A augmentedA           FF        Dm/F
 You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
A augmentedA           n.c.
 You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
