D       A        G
Make my house of bricks 
And I'll stick here when the world 
      D        A           G 
Comes crashing down around me 

D         A      G     
Make your arms a willow tree
                      D 
And you can bend with me 
    A             G
Anywhere that I'm going 

D              A             
Sometimes it's hard to see 
G
Anything lovely 
        D             A
All the people around me 
              G
Going for the money and the money 
        A
And the ego 
D           A
How can you ask me why 
G
I need to know before I try? 
     D              A          
I've got to be sure there's more 
         G 
Than the money and the money 
        A
And the ego 

D         A       G 
Keep your eyes on me 
                              D 
And I'll look to you so I can see 
A      G
What I am here for 
D        A            G 
Pull the wool over my eyes 
                         D
Please kiss this day goodbye 
     A              G 
Only you can get me going 

D              A
Sometimes it's hard to see 
G
Anything lovely 
        D             A 
All the people around me
          G     
Going for the money and the money 
        A
And the ego 
D           A
How can you ask me why 
G
I need to know before I try? 
     D              A
I've got to be sure there's more 
         G
Than the money and the money 
        A
And the ego 

     D            A
When giving up is all you got 
    G            D
And giving up is all you want 
    A                     G   
You hear yourself say you lost the will 
D
The power 
     D            A
When giving up is all you got
    G            D 
And giving up is all you want
                   A   
Don't be afraid to sit down 
G 
In your shower 
                          A
You can stay in there for hours 

D       A        G
Make my house of bricks 
And I'll stick here when the world 
      D        A           G
Comes crashing down around me
