BUILDING – capo 4
E A Am(x2)
E
I spent my life
A Am
Staring up the trunks of trees
My friends had flown
E
To the top of the canopy
A Am
If only I had known
E
What I know now
A Am
It wouldn't have kept me down

C#m A E (x3)
Cause I'm gonna build a plane
I'm gonna fly so high you might all think that I'm insane
But if I can put my mind to it
I think I'm really gonna go through with it this time
I'm gonna build a plane
I'm gonna build a plane
I'm gonna fly so high and I'll never be the same

E Am
But there's something missing
I went too high
I thought I could reach them
See them eye to eye
Show I wasn't scary
No need to be wary
A Am
But I flew so fast they thought that I was saying goodbye

E A Am
I spent my life
Staring up the trunks of trees
My friends had flown
To the top of the canopy
If only I had known
What I know now
It wouldn't have kept me down

C#m A E (x4)
Cause I'm gonna build a tower
It'll be so tall

They'll see I'm not so different after all

I lack wings
But I can climb stairs
Brick by brick I can prepare

(C#m B A E)
I'm gonna build a tower
I'll reach the perfect height
I'll be grounded at their level
Waving to my friends in flight

(CONSTRUCTION BRIDGE)

E Am
But I'm missing something
I built too fast
As my paws cling to shoddy railings
I'm seeing now that it won't last
In that moment I recall
They all fly south after fall
A Am
And my tower will crumble before winter has passed

(START OVER. again)

E A Am
I spent my life
Staring up the trunks of trees
My friends had flown
To the top of the canopy
If only I had known
What I know now
It wouldn't have kept me down

C#m A E (x5)
Cause I'm gonna build a moon base
At the very least I can stay in a single place

We'll be far away
A E
But at least nothing will change
I sound deranged

C#m
I realize now
A
But the course is charted
E
Might as well finish what I started

I'm gonna build a moon base
I'm gonna build a base on the heckin’ moon

You'll be able to see me there quite soon

(CONSTRUCTION BRIDGE)

E Am
I've got a telescope
I watch the earth
E
From my base on the moon
Am
Where everyone can see just what my skills are worth
The spacesuit's itchy
My radio broke
A
It's just a different type of muzzle
Am (MUTE)
I was so frightened I awoke
