  4 5 1    (wore the tired on my face)
  4 6m 5    (but if You don't build the house)
  1 4 3m    (then every stone I lay is lost)

[Pre-Chorus (BVs hum underneath, snare brush swells, the turn)]
  2m 6m 4    (then I heard You callin', soft and low)

  4 5    (He gives His beloved sleep)
  1 4 6m 5    (go on and rest now, He's already built the house)
