C5                          G5
Build me up, don't get me down
             D5
Weather the storm
       F5
Well, life goes on
C5                         G5
Feelings ebb and flow by hours
                  D5
You're up in the clouds
              F5
and then you sink like a stone



           F5
So do you feed yourself with pills?
         C5
Hope to deaden your ills
        F5
Or are you only one love short
A5
of happiness
          F5
And in a picture on the wall
     C5
No glimmer of yourself at all
        D5                F5
You've left yourself far away



C5                          G5
Build me up, don't mop my brow
              D5
Weather the storm? No...
          F5
Because life goes on
C5                        G5
It's my only hope right now
                D5
To soar like a bird
            F5
and not to sink like a stone



           F5
So do you feed yourself with pills?
        C5
Oh, to deaden your ills?
                 F5
Or are you only one love short
    A5
Of happiness
          F5
And in a picture on the wall
     C5
No glimmer of yourself at all
        D5                 F5
You've left yourself far away

solo: C5 , G5 , D5 , F;
      C5 , G5 , D5 , F5



               F5
Oh, so do you feed yourself with pills?
          C5
To cure you of your ills
            F5
Or are you only one love short
        A5
Of the happy days to come
          F5
And in a picture on the wall
           C5
You can't see your face at all
    D5
So unti yourself
          F5
Because that's all you've got to do
            F5
And I can grow a pair of wings
           C5
And I can take off flying

There'll be no crying
F5                             A5
Up in the air, looking back down
                           F5
And let me tell you, if I talk about gloom
            C5
I don't get out of feeling down
      D5
It strips you of yourself
         Bb5                                C5
and it splits you from the self that you know...
