I'm building a house where I can think  
And have some balance and dignity

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  
[D]  
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

Now I'm looking at just a little time  
[Em]  
So be it

I want to  
[D]       [C]  
Be true to my simple heart  
[Em]                    [A]  
And not put nothing else above it
