Come let us make bricks and burn them hard
Em C G D
We'll build a city with a tower for the world

Anything at all

Build me up, Tear me down like a skyscraper
G D/F# Em D Bm C
Build me up, then tear down those joining Walls
G D C
So they can't climb at all
Verse2:
I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, if you got caught
we'd all go away
Like a spoiled little baby
who can't come out to play
You had your revenge
Chorus: x1
Bridge:
G
Well madness reigned and paradise drown
D
When Babel's walls came crashing down
Em
Now the echoes roar for a story writ
C
That was hardly understood
G D C
and never any good
Chorus repeats and fades
