G# A
come let us make bricks
E B C
and burn them hard,
C#m A E B
we'll build a city with a tower for the world
E B
and climb so we can reach
C#m A
anything we may propose,
E B A
anything at all
C#m B
build me up, tear me down
A E
like a skyscraper,
C#m B
build me up, and tear down
G# A
these joining walls
E B A
so they can't climb at all
C#m B A
so they can't climb at all
G# A E B C
yeah, I know why you tore it down that day,
C#m A
you thought, that if you got caught
E B
we'd all go away,
E B
like a spoiled little baby
C#m A
who can't come out and play,
E B A
you had your revenge
C#m B
build me up, tear me down
A E
like a skyscraper,
C#m B
build me up, and tear down
G# A
these joining walls
E B A
so they can't climb at all
C#m B A
so they can't climb at all
E
well madness reigned
and paradise drowned
B
when Babel's walls came a-crashing down
C#m
now the echoes roar
a story writ
A
that was hardly understood
E B A
and never any good
C#m B
so, build me up, tear me down
A E
like a skyscraper,
C#m B
build me up, and tear down
G# A
these joining walls
E B A
so they can't climb at all
C#m B A
so they can't climb at all
