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