[Intro]
[F#maj7] [Fm7] [F#maj7] [A#m7] [Fm7]
 
 
[Verse 1]
[F#maj7]
If a tree fell in the forest
And no one was around to hear it
[A#m7]
Baby, does it go boom?
[Fm7]
Does it go boom?
[F#maj7]
If I have love for ya
But you were never close enough to feel it
[Fm7]
Is my love any good?
Is my love any good?
Oh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
[F#maj7]
But the distance ain’t even a room away
You’re laying in the bed right next to me
[A#m7]                                 [Fm7]
But there might as well be a brick wall in between us
Some soundproof glass
And some bars in the middle
[F#maj7]
Oh baby, when I wanna talk to you
I’m conversing with bricks and steel
A pile of bricks and steel
[Fm7]
And when I tap your shoulder
You’re cold as bricks and steel
A pile of bricks and steel
 
[Chorus]
[F#maj7]
How do I stay in love with your rubbish
All the leftovers and garbage
Was it ever real
If you were never here?
[Fm7]
Bricks and steel, walk around my kitchen
Like a pile of bricks and steel
Bricks, bricks
Steel, steel
 
[Verse 2]
[F#maj7]
I know you’re somewhere in there
Sometimes I wanna pick up a hammer
            [Fm7]
And start chiseling away, away
Chiseling away, away
[F#maj7]
Girl my phone bill is crazy
The rate is sky high when I call ya
[Fm7]
But you only let it ring
You only let it ring, oh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
[F#maj7]
But the distance ain't even a room away
You’re laying in the bed right next to me
[Fm7]
Oh but there might as well be a brick wall in between us
Some soundproof glass
And some bars in the middle
       [F#maj7]
Oh baby, when I wanna talk to you
I’m conversing with bricks and steel
A pile of bricks and steel
[A#m7]
And when I tap your shoulders
[Fm7]
You’re cold as bricks and steel
A pile of bricks and steel
 
[Chorus]
[F#maj7]
And how do I stay in love with your rubbish
Shorty leftovers in garbage
Was it ever real
If you were never here?
[A#m7]               [Fm7]
Bricks and steel, walk around my kitchen
Like a pile of bricks and steel
Bricks, bricks
Steel, steel
 
[Bridge]
[F#maj7]
Stomp, stomp
I think I hear ‘em coming down the hall
                              [Fm7]
He don’t hear a word I say at all
I’m wishing these 4 walls could talk, talk
[F#maj7]
Oh, stomp, stomp
I think I hear ‘em coming down the hall and
                       [Fm7]
He don’t hear a word I said, oh, oh, oh
 
[Pre-Chorus]
[F#maj7]
Oh baby, when I wanna talk to you
I’m conversing with bricks and steel
A pile of bricks and steel
[A#m7]
And when I tap your shoulders
[Fm7]
You’re cold as bricks and steel
A pile of bricks and steel
 
[Chorus]
[F#maj7]
How do I stay in love with your rubbish
All the leftovers and garbage
Was it ever real
If you were never here?
[A#m7]              [Fm7]
Bricks and steel, walk around my kitchen
Like a pile of bricks and steel
Bricks, bricks
Steel, steel
