[Verse]
              C                      G
I am a bucket filler.  This is who I am.
                  C          F             C    G
I try to think of others and do the best I can.
                 Am                                   F
I lend a helping hand.  Let someone know they're not alone.
                       Dm
If the kind words that I say brighten someone's day
    G
I'm happy cuz I know.

[Chorus]
C     Em Am  F           G
Yes!  I am a giver not a taker.
C     Em Am  F             G
Yes!  I am a builder not a breaker.
                Dm              G
Filling buckets up, overflowing hearts
              C
This is who I am.

[Verse]
C                                    G
I am a bucket filler. This is what I do.
             C               F               G
Every time I look, I look to see the best in you.
                 Am                            F
If your bucket's empty, I make an effort on my part.
                   Dm                             G
To look beyond the surface and see what's in your heart.

[Chorus]
        C     Em Am  F          G
Because yes!  I am a giver not a taker.
C    Em Am  F             G
Yes! I am a builder not a breaker
                Dm              G
Filling buckets up, overflowing hearts
              C
This is who I am.

[Verse]
Am                             F
Sometimes it isn't easy, and I struggle just to know
       Dm             C               F             G
How to fill another's bucket, when my own bucket is low.
Am                                  F
I stop and take a breath and try to listen if I can
       Dm                               G7
To the voice inside that reminds me who I am.

We are bucket fillers. This is who we are.
                   C           F                G
We fill each other up as we go reaching for the stars.
              Am                     F
We are bucket fillers and here's the magic of it all.
        Dm                              G
When we help each other, everyone of us stands tall.

[Chorus]
   C    Em Am   F           G
So yes! I am a giver not a taker.
    C    Em Am   F             G
And yes! I am a builder not a breaker

Filling buckets up, overflowing hearts
              C
This is who I am.
                Dm              G
Filling buckets up, overflowing hearts,
             F                          C
I will do my part, 'cause this is who I am.
