Intro

Verse

I built a man made out of bricks

and lived inside his chest

I beat my hands against the walls

To make a heart beat in his breast

I smashed my fist against his ribs

to suck the air inside

and swing by swing and blow by blow

I brought that man to life (hold G for one more bar)

Intro again

omit the Dm and G though)

Verse ii

(arpeggiated)

I built a man and cut his skin

and lived inside his heart

I pumped it with my fingertips

and loved it from the start

And with every beat I gave him

a heart beat of my own

and then I filled his veins

with the blood I had

Til his blo-oh-oh-oh-od (x 3)

Was my oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohn

Oh, I'd build you up,

( )

but we're not made of the same stuff,

And even though I knocked you down,

( )

you're so much stronger than me (repeat this time with mute)

Well, I would build you up,

but we're not made of the same stuff,

And even though I knocked you down,

you're so much stronger

Than MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~
