C         G           Em       D
With my own bricks, with clay and sticks
             C        G     Em  D
I’ve been building my house
       C       G             Em       D
With tar and mortar, been making my border
     C           G    Em  D
To keep the pain out
     C         G           Em       D
With my own bricks, with clay and sticks
             C        G     Em  D
I’ve been building my house
       C       G             Em       D
With tar and mortar, been making my border
     C           G    Em
To keep the pain out


[Pre-Chorus]
               D       C     G
So would You tear my house down?
Em         D        C     G
Would You tear my house down?
Em         D        C     G
Would You tear my house down?
Em          D         C     G  Em  D/F# G
Would You tear my house down?

[Bridge]
     C
So take me back to where I started
  Em
Take me back to when I was
G
In Your heart, in Your home
 D
Before I went out on my own
       C
Lord, tear this house down to its foundations
 Em
Break what You must break in me
 G
On the shores of Your salvation
  D                                  C Em
Cast my man-made kingdom into the sea
 G            D
Oh, into the sea

Would You tear my house down?
Em             D              C         G
Would You place me where my feet won't slip?
Em          D       C     G
Would You tear my house down?
Em         D                 C          G    Em D
Would You place me where my feet won't slip?
