BettEer build your house on a rock
Or Awatch it crumble and fail
Better build your Elove B7with hammer and Enails
EI see it in the darkness as Aif it was broad daylight
I Efeel it down inside my soul when I hold you B7tight
It Etakes much more than passion Afor love to prevail
Gotta raise it Eup B7with hammer and Enails
Chorus:
Hammer and AnailDs we're gonna build this Elove 
Faith and Ahope, flesh and B7blood
ELay that firm foundation down to the last deAtail
Gonna build our Elove B7with hammer and Enails
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
