Intro 

Em - C - G - D 
Em - C - G - D 

        Em              C 
I could roll the dice 
    G                 D 
And give you ten good reasons 
        Em             C 
I could break the ice 
    G                  D 
And pick up the broken pieces 

        Em                  C 
I could wave hello, I could raise a glass, 
        G                    D 
I could blow a kiss, I could kick your ass 
         Am                   C 
We could take it all apart or hold it all together 

     G                     Em 
With these two hands I can tear down walls 
      Am                    C 
I can build a bridge, I can break my fall 
     G                     Em 
With these two hands I can pray or fight 
      Am                    C 
I can hold the torch, I can shine a light 
               Em       C       G      D 
With these two hands 

        Em               C 
I could strike a match 
     G                 D 
That sets the world on fire 
       Em                C 
Hold a grain of sand 
        G            D 
Till it turns into a diamond 

        Em                      C 
I could plant the seed, I could flip that switch, 
         G                      D 
Make the sign of peace, I could make a fist 
             Am                C 
Oh, we could make this hurt or we could make it better 

     G                     Em 
With these two hands I can tear down walls 
      Am                    C 
I can build a bridge, I can break my fall 
     G                     Em 
With these two hands I can pray or fight 
      Am                    C 
I can hold the torch, I can shine a light 
               Em 
With these two hands
