1. Make my house of bricks
And I'll stick
here when the world
Comes crashing down around me
Make your arms a willow tree
And you can bend with me
Anywhere that I'm going

R: Sometimes it's hard to see
Anything lovely
All the people around me
Going for the money
and the money
And the ego
How can you ask me why
I need to know before I try?
I've got to be sure there's more
Bm (nechat)
Than the money and the money
G (nechat)
And the ego

2. Keep your eyes on me
And I'll look to
you so I can see
What I am here for
Pull the wool over my eyes
Please kiss this day goodbye
Only you can get me going

R: Sometimes it's hard to see...

*: When giving up is all you got
And giving up is all you want
You hear yourself say
you lost the will The power
When giving up is all you got
And giving up is all you want
Don't be afraid to sit down
G(hold)
In your shower
A (nechat)
You can stay in there for hours

3. Make my house of bricks
And I'll stick
here when the world
Comes crashing down around me

R: Sometimes it's hard to see
Anything lovely
All the people around me
Going for the money
and the money
And the ego
How can you ask me why
I need to know before I try?
I've got to be sure there's more
Than the money and the money
And the ego

I've got to be sure there's more
Than the money and the money
And the ego
I've got to be sure there's more
C#m (nechat)
Than the money and the money
A (nechat) E (nechat)
And the ego
