Gm
Totally subjective
D#
The thing that you see
Gm
So what's your objective?
D#
What will it be?
F
With those nails and those wrenches
Dm
The tools in your hand
F                     Dm
I just have one question

Chorus:
               Gm                     F 
If hammers can build, if hammers can take
   A#          Cm                      Gm
If hammers can make things, if hammers can
            F             Gm
Break the ground that you walk upon
 F          A#                 Cm                  Gm
Break the ground that you're standin' on, standin' on
If hammers can crush, if hammers can mend
Then how do you plan to use your hammer, my friend?
Wield your hammer like weapons drawn or
Wield your hammer to right what's wrong, right what's wrong?
       F   A#   Cm
Only time will show
      Gm   F    Gm
Only time will show
       F   A#   Cm
Only time will show
                Gm  F Gm
Only time will show

I'm not passin' judgment
'Cause that would be cruel
Use your words to bludgeon you
As if they were some tool
But with those nails and those wrenches
Those tools in your hand
I just have one question

Chorus

Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da
Oh woah, mm, mm
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da
Oh woah, woah
