Tone: [C]
Verse 1:
[C] Build me up, don't get me d[G]down
Weather the s[Dm]storm
Well, l[F]life goes on
[C] Feelings ebb and flow by the h[G]hour
You're up in the c[Dm]clouds
And then you s[F]sink like a stone
Chorus:
So do you f[F]feed yourself with pills?
Oh, to d[C]deaden your ills?
Or are you only [F]one love short
Of h[Am]happiness
And in a p[F]picture on the wall
No g[C]glimmer of yourself at all
You've l[Dm]left yourself far a[F]away
Verse 2:
[C] Build me up, don't mop my b[G]brow
Weather the s[Dm]storm? No
Because [F]life goes on
[C] And it's my only hope right n[G]now
To soar like a b[Dm]bird
And not to s[F]sink like a stone
Chorus:
So do you f[F]feed yourself with pills?
Oh, to d[C]deaden your ills?
Or are you only [F]one love short
Of h[Am]happiness
And in a p[F]picture on the wall
No g[C]glimmer of yourself at all
You've l[Dm]left yourself far aw[F]away
Solo -x2-:
[C] [G] [Dm] [F]
Chorus:
Oh, so do you f[F]feed yourself with pills?
To c[C]cure you of your ills
Or are you only [F]one love short
Of the h[Am]happy days to come
And in a p[F]picture on the wall
You can't s[C]see your face at all
So un[Dm]untie yourself
Because t[F]that's all you've got to do
And I can g[F]grow a pair of wings
And I can t[C]take off flying
There'll be no crying
[F]Up in the air, looking back d[Am]down
And let me tell you, if I t[F]talk about gloom
I don't get [C]out of feeling down
It s[Dm]strips you of yourself
and it s[Bb]splits you from the self that you k[C]know...
