This is my first tab, I figured it out by listening to this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut8j2X2eAxk
Common time; Key of C
(listen to the track for chord changes, it's actually quite apparent when they do)
Intro: C Em|Am G|Dm |Dm G| (and repeat once)
Verse:
C Em
I built a man made out of bricks
F G
and lived inside his chest
C Em
I beat my hands against the walls
F G
To make a heart beat in his breast
F G
I smashed my fist against his ribs
C Em F
to suck the air inside
F G
and swing by swing and blow by blow
F G
I brought that man to life (hold G for one more bar)
Intro again (omit the Dm and G though)
C Em|Am G| (repeat)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/florence_and_the_machine/bricks_crd.html ]
Verse II: (arpeggiated)
C Em
I built a man and cut his skin
F G
and lived inside his heart
C Em
I pumped it with my fingertips
F G
and loved it from the start
C
And with every beat I gave him
F Fm
a heart beat of my own
C
and then I filled his veins
F
with the blood I had
Dm G
Til his blo-oh-oh-oh-od (x 3)
C Em Am F C Em Am G
Was my oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohn
Am
Oh, I'd build you up,
G F (F G)
but we're not made of the same stuff,
Am G
And even though I knocked you down,
F (F G)
you're so much stronger than me (repeat this time with mute)
Am
Well, I would build you up,
G F G
but we're not made of the same stuff,
Am G
And even though I knocked you down,
F G (hold for two bars)
you're so much stronger
F / / / |G / / / (x 2)
Than MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~
Intro C Em|Am G|Dm |Dm G| x 4
(vocal ad. lib)
End on C
