Ab A              E      B
Come let us make bricks and burn them hard
Db           A         E        B
We'll build a city, with a tower for the world
E            B              Db         A
And climb so we may reach, anything we may propose
E  B     A
Anything at all

      Db        B       A           E
Build me up, tear me down, like a skyscraper
      Db      B              Ab    A
Build me up, then tear down these joining walls
  E       B       A
So they can't climb at all


Ab   A      E             B
I know why, you tore it down that day
Db          A            E          B
You thought that if you got caught, we'd all go away
E             B                 Db            A
Like a spoiled little baby, who can't come out and play
E      B      A
You had your revenge

      Db        B       A           E
Build me up, tear me down, like a skyscraper
      Db      B             Ab    A
Build me up, then tear down these joining walls
  E       B       A
So they can't climb at all
