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

Em 
Wipe the teardrops from your eyes 
      Am 
Reach up until we touch the sky

Free to dream and make it true

No, there ain't nothing we can't do

Oh, there ain't nothing we can't do
