[Intro]
| G |
 
[Verse 1]
C G
What if I believed it when you said you want to be around me?
D7 G G7
What if I could see that you have been here all along?
C G
And suddenly the story that I told myself is unraveling,
D7 G G7
the more I'm in your company the less I am alone.
 
[Chorus]
C G
Brick by brick you're taking this wall apart,
D7 G G7
it took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart.
C G* D/F#* Em**
But your patient hand goes stone by stone,
D7 G
pain can build a prison but your love's making me a home.
 
[Verse 2]
C G
It's funny how your eye adjust to living in the basement.
D7 G G7
You said that it might take some time to get used to the light.
C G
All those years of bracing for a bitter storm that came and went.
D7 G G7
Now, I've been tryin' ever since to shake off the night.
 
[Chorus]
C G
Brick by brick you're taking this wall apart,
D7 G G7
it took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart.
C G* D/F#* Em**
But your patient hand goes stone by stone,
D7 G
pain can build a prison but your love's making me a home.
 
[Bridge]
Am G
Every word out of your mouth is a truth I've never heard.
Am D7
Everything is different now we've rearranged the furniture.
C G
And I would rather be with you than hang around with anyone else.
C D*
The more I'm spending time with you the more I am myself.
 
[End-Chorus]
C G
Brick by brick you're taking this wall apart,
D7 G G7
it took me years to build that fortress around my broken heart.
C G* D/F#* Em**
But your patient hand goes stone by stone,
D* G G7
pain can build a prison but your love's making me a home.
C G G7
Yeah, your love's making me a home,
C G G7
your love's making me a home.
C D7* G*
Pain can build a prison but your love's making me a home.
