(listen to the track for chord changes, it's actually quite apparent when they do)
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)
omit the Dm and G though)
(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~
