Intro: C5    EmA5    GD5     D5     G5 (and repeat once)

Verse: 
    C5                      E5
I built a man made out of bricks
      F5              G5 
and lived inside his chest
   C5                        E5
I beat my hands against the walls
           F5              G5 
To make a heart beat in his breast
  F5                           G5 
I smashed my fist against his ribs
    C5       E5   F5
to suck the air inside
    F5                  G5
and swing by swing and blow by blow
  F5                   G5
I brought that man to life (hold G for one more bar)

Intro again (omit the Dm and G though)

C5    EmA5    G5 (repeat)

Verse II: (arpeggiated)
    C5                      E5
I built a man and cut his skin
     F5                G5
and lived inside his heart
   C5                     E5
I pumped it with my fingertips 
     F5                G5
and loved it from the start
          C5
And with every beat I gave him
  F5                F5 
a heart beat of my own
           C5 
and then I filled his veins
         F5 
with the blood I had


        D5         G5
Til his blo-oh-oh-oh-od (x 3)
       C5  E5 A5 F5  C5 E5 A5 G5 
Was my oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohn


        A5
Oh, I'd build you up, 
    G5                     F5       ( F5 G5 )  
but we're not made of the same stuff,
                A5                 G5
And even though I knocked you down,                      
                F5              ( F5 G5 )  
you're so much stronger than me              (repeat this time with mute)
               A5
Well, I would build you up, 
    G5                     F5          G5
but we're not made of the same stuff,
                  A5              G5
And even though I knocked you down, 
               F5          G5 (hold for two bars)
you're so much stronger
