 D
People are sad and I know why
With no chance to live before you die
     G                      C            G
You get pretty sick if you hafta keep it inside

I want to build a house where an ad don't scream
I want to live in peace, quietly
I want to have a place of love and safety

People ought to live how and where they want
People ought to have respect in front
People ought to get along pretty OK

Chorus:
    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

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

         D          G
Now I'm looking at just a little time
    Em
So be it
   A
I want to
 D       C
be true to my simple heart
     Em                    A
And not put nothing else above it
