[Intro]

C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

[Verse 1]

C#/G# D#/A# Fm7/C D#/A# C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

My mother was a blind architect, her mother was too

C#/G# D#/A# Fm7/C D#/A# C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

Designing huge walls no man could ever get through, mmh

C#/G# D#/A# Fm7/C D#/A# C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

Born with a brick heart and mortar tongue, they made do

C#/G# D#/A# Fm7/C D#/A# C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

Now the only thing I know is to build those same walls too

[Chorus]

C#M9 Edim7

Don't you build it too tall

C#M9 C7

It may never fall

C#M9 A#dim7/E

The air's getting thin

C#M9 A#dim7/E

You're still human, fragile woman

[Verse 2]

C#/G# D#/A# Fm7/C D#/A# C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

My mother taught me the way to operate a crane ooh, crane

C#/G# D#/A# Fm7/C D#/A# C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

Carrying heavy loads with a smile in pouring rain

C#/G# D#/A# Fm7/C D#/A# C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

These walls I'd perfected left me unprotected from that emptiness inside, now

C#/G# D#/A# Fm7/C D#/A# C#/G# C#6/A# C#M7/C C#6/A#

No asking why, just get out while there's still time, baby

[Chorus]

C#M9 Edim7

Don't you build it too tall

C#M9 C7

It may never fall

C#M9 A#dim7/E

The air's getting thin

C#M9 A#dim7/E

You're still human, fragile woman

[Bridge]

Fm7 Dm7b5 A#m7

Armed for destruc- tion

C#/G# D#/A# F/C

C#/G# D#/A# F7/A

C#/G# D#/A# F/C

Don't you hurt yourself, girl

C#/G# D#/A# F7/A

No, no, no, no, yeah, do-do-do, do-do, do-do

C#/G# D#/A# F/C

Ayy, woo

C#/G# D#/A# F/C

Oh, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no

C#/G# D#/A# F/C

Hey, woo, woohoo

C#/G# A#m7 C7

Woah

[Chorus]

C#M9 Edim7

Don't you build it too tall

(Don't you, don't you, don't you build it)

C#M9 C7

It may never fall

C#M9 A#dim7/E

The air's getting thin, thin, thin, thin

C#M9 A#dim7/E

You're still human, fragile woman
