Build it up (2025) (video)

Am - Dm - Am - Dm

Am Dm - F E

1. How can we talk about our differences,

Am Dm - F E

when we don't talk don't talk at all ?

Am - Dm - F - E Am

It seems so critical to speak less critically,

Dm - F E

I see no truth as mythical, no vast unbridgeable.

Dm

Give me strength to overcome,

F - E

give me strength, I'm not gonna run, build it up, build it up !

Am

You gotta, you gotta

E Am E Am

give some, take some, fix it up, you gotta break some.

E - Am E Am

You gotta open up, you gotta share, build it up if nothing's there.
