[Verse 1]
  CBuild me up, don't get me dGown
Weather the sDmtorm
Well, lFife goes on
  CFeelings ebb and flow by the hGour
You're up in the cDmlouds
And then you sFink like a stone
[Chorus]
So do you fFeed yourself with pills?
Oh, to dCeaden your ills?
Or are you only Fone love short
Of hAmappiness
And in a pFicture on the wall
No gClimmer of yourself at all
You've lDmeft yourself far aFway
[Verse 2]
  CBuild me up, don't mop my bGrow
Weather the sDmtorm? No
Because Flife goes on
  CAnd it's my only hope right nGow
To soar like a bDmird
And not to sFink like a stone
[Chorus]
So do you fFeed yourself with pills?
Oh, to dCeaden your ills?
Or are you only Fone love short
Of hAmappiness
And in a pFicture on the wall
No gClimmer of yourself at all
You've lDmeft yourself far awFay

C  G  Dm  F
[Chorus]
Oh, so do you fFeed yourself with pills?
To cCure you of your ills
Or are you only Fone love short
Of the hAmappy days to come
And in a pFicture on the wall
You can't sCee your face at all
So unDmtie yourself
Because tFhat's all you've got to do
And I can gFrow a pair of wings
And I can tCake off flying
There'll be no crying
FUp in the air, looking back dAmown
And let me tell you, if I tFalk about gloom
I don't get Cout of feeling down
It sDmtrips you of yourself
and it sBbplits you from the self that you kCnow...

[Verse 1]

C G

Build me up, don't get me down

Weather the storm

Well, life goes on

C G

Feelings ebb and flow by the hour

You're up in the clouds

And then you sink like a stone

[Chorus]

So do you feed yourself with pills?

Oh, to deaden your ills?

Or are you only one love short

Of happiness

And in a picture on the wall

No glimmer of yourself at all

Dm F

You've left yourself far away

[Verse 2]

C G

Build me up, don't mop my brow

Weather the storm? No

Because life goes on

C G

And it's my only hope right now

To soar like a bird

And not to sink like a stone

[Chorus]

So do you feed yourself with pills?

Oh, to deaden your ills?

Or are you only one love short

Of happiness

And in a picture on the wall

No glimmer of yourself at all

Dm F

You've left yourself far away

[Solo]

C G Dm F

[Chorus]

Oh, so do you feed yourself with pills?

To cure you of your ills

Or are you only one love short

Of the happy days to come

And in a picture on the wall

You can't see your face at all

So untie yourself

Because that's all you've got to do

And I can grow a pair of wings

And I can take off flying

There'll be no crying

F Am

Up in the air, looking back down

And let me tell you, if I talk about gloom

I don't get out of feeling down

It strips you of yourself

Bb C

and it splits you from the self that you know...
