E5 Better build your house on a rock A5 Or watch it crumble and fail E5 B5 E5 Better build your love with hammer and nails E5 A5 I see it in the darkness as if it was broad daylight E5 B5 I feel it down inside my soul when I hold you tight E5 A5 It takes much more than passion for love to prevail E5 B5 E5 Gotta raise it up with hammer and nails Chorus: A5 D5 E5 Hammer and nails we're gonna build this love A5 B5 Faith and hope, flesh and blood E5 A5 Lay that firm foundation down to the last detail E5 B5 E5 Gonna build our love with hammer and nails You build one room for laughter, you build one room for tears This ain't no game, no house of cards, It?s gonna take us years A vow thats's only spoken comes to no avail Put'em in your hands, hammer and nails Chorus Chorus Gonna build our love with hammer and nails
