Better build your house on a rock 
   A 
Or watch it crumble and fail 
                  E   B7               E       
Better build your love with hammer and nails 
 
 
E                           A          
I see it in the darkness as if it was broad daylight 
  E                                           B7  
I feel it down inside my soul when I hold you tight 
   E                            A     
It takes much more than passion for love to prevail 
               E  B7              E    
Gotta raise it up with hammer and nails

           A   D                        E 
Hammer and nails we're gonna build this love  
          A               B7 
Faith and hope, flesh and blood 
E                                           A 
Lay that firm foundation down to the last detail 
                E   B7               E 
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
