Alec Benjamin – Hammers Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Verse 1]
Gm
Totally subjective
Eb
The thing that you see
Gm
So what's your objective?
Eb
What will it be?
F
With those nails and those wrenches
Dm
The tools in your hand
F                     Bb
I just have one question

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

[Verse 2]
Gm
Wе're not passin' judgment
Eb
'Cause that would bе cruel
Gm
Use your words to bludgeon you
Eb
As if they were some tool
F
But with those nails and
those wrenches
Dm
Those tools in your hand
F                    Dm
I just have one question

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