    Em         A
So get off my dick
     G            C    G   D
I'm building it brick by brick
  C    G   D
Brick by brick

I'm building a house where I can think
And have some balance and dignity
I'm building a house where no one can hurt me

I'm buidling a house where the weak are strong
I'm building a house with a real song
I'm using a faith that is immortal

I'm building it with simplicity
And the way that we feel, you and me
I'm building it with what I believe in

So get off my dick
'cause I'm building this
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick

So be it
   A
I want to
 D       C
be true to my simple heart
     Em                    A
And not put nothing else above it
