Brick By Brick by Newton Faulkner
Brick By Brick
Tuning - standard
It doesn't require a capo but you can to change the pitch :)
C
I'm hoping it'll all get better
F
But it keeps on getting worse
G
Time and time again
C
People running as the earth shakes
F
Just another earthquake coming in
G
To break my faith in this
C
Wind blowing off the rooftops
F
Water in the basements
G
Looking like lightning strikes again
C
Story ends and another begins
F
And they will keep on coming
G
They will keep on coming
Am C Am
Every single flame burns bright and fades
G
But that's okay
C
My best-laid plans are washed away
F
No time to make 'em all again
C
Sometimes life gets in the way
F
We've got to keep on breathing
Am C
Look how far we've come
Am
Look what we've made
C
Started from nothing, building
[x2]:
C
Brick by, brick by
Brick by, brick by
F
Brick by, brick by
Brick
C
So we're back to broken hearted
F
Back to where we started
G
Everything we built gone down again
C
If this was in the movies
F
It's said to be the truth
G
Bet no one would believe a word of it
C
Far reaching on the hillsides
F
Losing by a landslide
G
Everybody's patience wearing thin
C
The drama ends and another begins
F G
But if everybody loses, everybody wins
Am C Am
Every single flame burns bright and fades
G
But that's okay
C
My best-laid plans are washed away
F
No time to make 'em all again

Sometimes life gets in the way
