Standard (EADGBE)

Better build your house on a rock

 Or watch it crumble and fail

 Better build your love with hammer and nails

I see it in the darkness as if it was broad daylight

 I feel it down inside my soul when I hold you tight

 It takes much more than passion for love to prevail

 Gotta raise it up with hammer and nails

Chorus

 Hammer and nails we're gonna build this love

 Faith and hope, flesh and blood

Lay that firm foundation down to the last detail

 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
