Buildings

         D     A     E           
He was a husband who drove his 
        D          A      E
wife home drunk from the parties
         D     A     E           
He was a husband who drove his 
       D A E
wife home
           D            A      E 
And in the car he would gently 
            D      A         E
lean her head on the side door 
window
           D       A         E   
And in the bathroom he would hold
                   D     A     E
 her hair back and hope, saying:

D        A                D      
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they 
  A
build buildings,
D        A                F#m    
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they

build buildings,
D        A                D      
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they 
  A
build buildings,
D        A               E      
Oh, they build buildings so tall
       A
 these days

           D      A      E       
And in the morning she'd wake up 
    D      A             E
and crouch recollections all day
              D      A      E    
But she would always always wake 
            D      A E
up the next morning
         D        A               
And he'd take one look at her and 
  E      D        A  E
say, oh, oh, it's okay
        D         A      E       
And her conscience would issue 
          D    A       E
yet another last warning, saying;

D        A                D      
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they 
  A
build buildings,
D        A                F#m    
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they

D        A                D      
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they 
  A
build buildings,
D        A               E      
Oh, they build buildings so tall
       A
 these days

              F#m                  
And she would ask for time and 
  D
she'd ask for time
          E                      A
And she'd ask for time and she'd ask
 for time
              F#m                  
And she would beg for time and 
  D               E          A
she'd beg for time and call it a 
gift

And it would be coffee and coffee

And coffee and coffee and coffee

He'd go to work and she'd take a

 sick day and rot at the core

           D            A         
And by the time he came back,

she'd scrub the bathrooms
    D         A          E
And make them smell like pine
            D         A  E
It would be almost as if nothing had
 happened

And he'd give her time, oh, oh, 
   D         A       E
