Verse:
C majorC E minorEm
I built a man made out of bricks
FF G+G
and lived inside his chest
C majorC E minorEm
I beat my hands against the walls
FF G+G
To make a heart beat in his breast
FF G+G
I smashed my fist against his ribs
C majorC E minorEm FF
to suck the air inside
FF G+G
and swing by swing and blow by blow
FF G+G
I brought that man to life (hold G+G for one more bar)
Intro again (omit the DmDm and G+G though)
C majorC E minorEm|A minorAm G+G| (repeat)
Verse II: (arpeggiated)
C majorC E minorEm
I built a man and cut his skin
FF G+G
and lived inside his heart
C majorC E minorEm
I pumped it with my fingertips
FF G+G
and loved it from the start
C majorC
And with every beat I gave him
FF F minorFm
a heart beat of my own
C majorC
and then I filled his veins
FF
with the blood I had
DmDm G+G
Til his blo-oh-oh-oh-od (x 3)
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm FF C majorC E minorEm A minorAm G+G
Was my oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohn
A minorAm
Oh, I'd build you up,
G+G FF (FF G+G)
but we're not made of the same stuff,
A minorAm G+G
And even though I knocked you down,
FF (FF G+G)
you're so much stronger than me (repeat this time with mute)
A minorAm
Well, I would build you up,
G+G FF G+G
but we're not made of the same stuff,
A minorAm G+G
And even though I knocked you down,
FF G+G (hold for two bars)
you're so much stronger
FF / / / |G+G / / / (x 2)
Than MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~
