Ab5   A5
come let us make bricks
    E5         B5   C5
and burn them hard,
C#5           A5           E5             B5
we'll build a city with a tower for the world
    E5               B5
and climb so we can reach
C#5             A5
anything we may propose,
E5  B5        A5
anything at all

         C#5         B5
build me up, tear me down
       A5         E5
like a skyscraper,
         C#5     B5
build me up, and tear down
      Ab5      A5
these joining walls
   E5          B5        A5
so they can't climb at all
   C#5        B5        A5
so they can't climb at all

Ab5           A5       E5                 B5   C5
yeah, I know why you tore it down that day,
C#5               A5
you thought, that if you got caught
E5            B5
we'd all go away,
       E5              B5
like a spoiled little baby
    C#5                A5
who can't come out and play,
E5       B5     A5
you had your revenge


         C#5         B5
build me up, tear me down
       A5         E5
like a skyscraper,
         C#5     B5
build me up, and tear down
      Ab5      A5
these joining walls
   E5          B5        A5
so they can't climb at all
   C#5        B5        A5
so they can't climb at all


(instrumental)(It's just the chords for the verse then the chorus...)


     E5
well madness reigned

and paradise drowned
     B5
when Babel's walls came a-crashing down
        C#5
now the echoes roar

a story writ
         A5
that was hardly understood
    E5     B5   A5
and never any good


             C#5         B5
so, build me up, tear me down
       A5         E5
like a skyscraper,
         C#5     B5
build me up, and tear down
      Ab5      A5
these joining walls
   E5          B5        A5
so they can't climb at all
   C#5        B5        A5
so they can't climb at all


Thanks for reading y'all! Correct me if you reckon I'm wrong anywhere... x
