Verse:
C Em
I built a man made out of bricks
F G
and lived inside his chest
C Em
I beat my hands against the walls
F G
To make a heart beat in his breast
F G
I smashed my fist against his ribs
C Em F
to suck the air inside
F G
and swing by swing and blow by blow
F G
I brought that man to life
C Em|Am G| (repeat)
Verse II: (arpeggiated)
C Em
I built a man and cut his skin
F G
and lived inside his heart
C Em
I pumped it with my fingertips
F G
and loved it from the start
C
And with every beat I gave him
F Fm
a heart beat of my own
C
and then I filled his veins
F
with the blood I had
Dm G
Til his blo-oh-oh-oh-od x 3
