( C5 , F5 , D5 , A5 , G5 )

C5
 Been the crawl of a mountain Been a link in a chain

 Been scolded for stealin' Been told to behave
F5
 Been readin' the forecast Somethin's coming this way

 But it's takin' forever I'm too tired to maintain that
     C5
 I'm slow

 Been a scratch on the surface Been a clog in the drain

 Been melodramatic Been sleepin' for days
F5
 Been one in a million Been a million to one

 This is takin' forever Always seems to return that
     C5
 I'm slow


 F5                        C5
 All hands up, salute the Empire State
 F5                           C5
 Faith be true, you know the way
 D5                         A5
 Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
         F5
 Fallen walls all around
            G5
 Destroyed again
            C5
 Destroyed again

 Been diggin' to China Been a fish in the sea

 Been talkin' to Jesus But he's not talkin' to me
F5
 Been readin' the forecast Something's coming this way

 But it's taken forever And I've already maintained that
     C5
 I'm slow

 F5                        C5
 All hands up, salute the Empire State
 F5                            C5
 Faith is true, she knows the way
 D5                          A5
 Ten miles tall in this: an empty space
        F5
 Fallen walls all around
              G5
 We'll build again
          C5 ( continue for the rest of the song.)
 Rebuild again


 Been the crawl of a mountain

 Been a link in a chain

 Been scolded for stealin'

 Been carted away
