Capo 4
G
The weight of my words
Am
Are like feathers from a bird
C
My mouth, it moves
G
But you won't hear a thing
G
'Cause I've dug myself deep
Am
I managed to fit both my hands and feet
C
All my little white lies
G
Smell like a big old bucket of bleach
Em Cadd9 D
In one ear and out your other
Em
So lock and key
Cadd9 D
You won't open up for me
[Refrão]
G Am
So brick by brick
C
I am breaking through these walls
Em
Oh, between you and me
Cadd9
I'm not giving up
Em Am
I'm not giving up
G
And it feels like you're in China
Am
And I am in Peru
C G
Whenever I am sleeping next to you
G
We can hear the crickets singing
Am
Oh, all throughout the night
C
Oh, boy can't you just get used
G
To something so right?
Em
And sure I confess
Cadd9 D
I'm a mess, I'm a mess of mistakes
Em
But please count to ten
Cadd9 D
Before you go and throw it all away
[Refrão]
G Am
So brick by brick
C
I am breaking through these walls
Em
Oh, between you and me
Cadd9
I'm not giving up
Em Am
I'm not giving up
C
'Cause if you give up
G Em
Then what am I supposed to do?
C
All our dreams
Am Em A
Never will come true without you
G Am
So brick by brick
C
I am breaking through these walls
Em
Oh, between you and me
Cadd9
I'm not giving up
Em Am
I'm not giving up on us
