A                              F       Dm/F
 I hit a wall, I never felt so low, so low

A                                           F          Dm/F
  Like a waterfall, my tears dropped to the floor, the floor

       A                              F       Dm/F
  They left a swimming pool of salted crimes, crimes

     A                               F
  Oh, what could I do to change your mind?
n.c. Nothing [PRE-CHORUS 1]
    A                                     F  Dm/F
I'm bracing for the pain and I am letting go

    A                                        F   Dm/F
I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole
[CHORUS]
A                                      F      Dm/F
  I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself

A                                          F      Dm/F
  Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious

A                              F      Dm/F
  And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless

A                             F   Dm/F
  But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all,    watch the fall
[POST-CHORUS 1]
A                     F               Dm/F
  You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

A                     n.c.
  You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
[VERSE 2]
A                                          F                Dm/F
  Yeah I hit a wall, I prayed that I would make it through, make it through

A                               F                   Dm/F
  I can't survive a life that's without you, that's without you, yeah

A                             F              Dm/F
  And I will rise up from the ashes now, the ashes now

A                                              F         Dm/F
  Oh, the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving's failure, yeah
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
      A                                     F      Dm/F
I was bracing for the pain and I am letting go

  A                                           F    Dm/F
I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole
[CHORUS]
A                                      F      Dm/F

A                                          F      Dm/F
  Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious

A                              F      Dm/F
  And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless

  But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all,    watch the fall
[POST-CHORUS 2]
A                     F               Dm/F
  You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

A                     F               Dm/F
  You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

A                     F               Dm/F
  You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

A                     n.c.
  You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
