Intro: D    F#m|Bm    A|Em     |Em     A| (and repeat once)
Verse: 
    D                      F#m
I built a man made out of bricks
      G              A 
and lived inside his chest
   D                        F#m
I beat my hands against the walls
           G              A 
To make a heart beat in his breast
  G                           A 
I smashed my fist against his ribs
    D       F#m   G
to suck the air inside
    G                  A
and swing by swing and blow by blow
  G                   A
I brought that man to life (hold G for one more bar)
Intro again (omit the Dm and G though)
D    F#m|Bm    A| (repeat)
Verse II: (arpeggiated)
    D                      F#m
I built a man and cut his skin
     G                A
and lived inside his heart
   D                     F#m
I pumped it with my fingertips 
     G                A
and loved it from the start
          D
And with every beat I gave him
  G                Gm 
a heart beat of my own
           D 
and then I filled his veins
         G 
with the blood I had
        Em         A
Til his blo-oh-oh-oh-od (x 3)
       D  F#m Bm G  D F#m Bm A 
Was my oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohn
        Bm
Oh, I'd build you up, 
    A                     G       (G A)  
but we're not made of the same stuff,
                Bm                 A
And even though I knocked you down,                      
                G              (G A)  
you're so much stronger than me              (repeat this time with mute)
               Bm
Well, I would build you up, 
    A                     G          A
but we're not made of the same stuff,
                  Bm              A
And even though I knocked you down, 
               G          A (hold for two bars)
you're so much stronger 
G / / / |A / / / (x 2)
