Lyrics

[Verse 1]
G#5     A5                     E5            B5 C5
   Come let us make bricks and burn them hard
C#5              A5          E5            B5
   We'll build a city with a tower for the world
    E5              B5       C#5                 A5
And climb so we can reach anything we may propose
E5 B5          C#5
Anything at all

[Chorus]
A5    B5 C#5             B5
Build me up, tear me down
       A5        E5
Like a skyscraper
         C#5      B5
Build me up, then tear down
      G#5          A5
These joining walls
   E5              B5   A5 A5
So they can't climb  at all

[Verse 2]
G#5       A5      E5                   B5 C5
   I know why you tore it down that day
C#5
   You thought,
     A5                E5           B5
that if you got caught we'd all go away
       E5               B5     C#5                   A5
Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out to play
E5      B5          C#5
You had your revenge

[Chorus]
A5    B5 C#5             B5
Build me up, tear me down
       A5        E5
Like a skyscraper
         C#5      B5
Build me up, then tear down
      G#5          A5
These joining walls
   E5              B5   A5 A5 E5
So they can't climb  at all

[Solo]
           | C#5 | B5 |
| A5  | E5 | C#5 | B5 |
| G#5 | A5 | E5  | B5 |
| A5  | -  |

[Bridge]
     E5
Well madness reigned and paradise drowned
B5
When Babel's walls came crashing down
    C#5
Now the echoes roar for a story writ
     A5
That was hardly understood
    E5    B5      C#5
And never any good

[Chorus]
A5    B5 C#5             B5
Build me up, tear me down
       A5        E5
Like a skyscraper
         C#5      B5
Build me up, then tear down
      G#5          A5
These joining walls
   E5              B5   A5
So they can't climb  at all
A5 E5 B5 A5      B5 C#5 B5 A5
           Build me up 

[Outro]
E5 B5       C#5
   Build me up 
B5 A5 E5 B5 C#5
B5 A5 E5 B5 C#5
B5 A5 B5
