Buildings Regina Spektor
<i></i>Capo 4 or as you like
A pretty simple, easy to play version of "Buildings"
He was a [D]husban[A]d who [E]drove his wife home [D]drunk from [A]the par[E]ties
He was a [D]husban[A]d who [E]drove his wife home[D] [A] [E]
And in the [D]car he would [A]gently [E]lean her head [D]on the [A]side door [E]window
And in the [D]bathroom[A] he would [E]hold her hair back and [D]hope, [A]saying[E]:
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, [D]oh, they [A]build buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, [F#m]oh, they [E]build buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, [D]oh, they [A]build buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings [E]so tall these [A]days
And in the [D]morning[A] she'd [E]wake up and [D]crouch [A]recollections [E]all day
But she would [D]always [A]always [E]wake up the next [D]morning[A] [E]
And he'd [D]take one [A]look at her and sa[E]y, oh, [D]oh, it's [A]oka[E]y
And her [D]conscience[A] would [E]issue yet another [D]last [A]warning,[E] saying;
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, [D]oh, they [A]build buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, [F#m]oh, they [E]build buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, [D]oh, they [A]build buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings [E]so tall these [A]days
And she would [F#m]ask for time and she'd [D]ask for time
And she'd [E]ask for time and she'd [A]ask for time
And she would [F#m]beg for time and she'd [D]beg for time and[E] call it a [A]gift
And he would [F#m]give her time and he'd [D]give her time
And he'd [E]give her time and he'd [A]give her time
But [F#m]time is not given and [D]time is not taken
It just[E] sifts through its [A]sieve
But [F#m]time is not given and [D]time is not taken
It just[E] sifts through its [A]sieve
[D] [A] [E] [D] [A] [E]
Sift through its [D]sieve[A], [E]just sift through its [D]sieve[A] [E]
Oh, [D]da[A]rl[E]ing[D]..[A]..[E]..sift through its [D]sieve[A]..[E]..just sift through its [D]sieve[A] [E]
And it would be [D]coffee and [A]coffee and [E]coffee
And coffee and [D]coffee and [A]coffee some [E]more
[D]He'd go [A]to work and [E]she'd take a sick day and [D]rot at [A]the core[E]
And by the [D]time he came [A]back, she'd [E]scrub the bathrooms
And [D]make them [A]smell like [E]pine
It would be [D]almost as [A]if [E]nothing had happened
And [D]he'd give [A]her time[E], oh, oh, and [D]he'd give [A]her time[E], saying:
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, [D]oh, they [A]build buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, oh, [F#m]don't they build [E]buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings, [D]oh, they [A]build buildings,
[D]Oh, they [A]build buildings [E]so tall these [A]days
And she would [F#m]ask for time and she'd [D]ask for time
And she'd [E]ask for time and she'd [A]beg for time
And she would [F#m]beg for time and she'd [D]beg for time and [E]call it a [A]gift
And he would [F#m]give her time and he'd [D]give her time
And he'd [E]give her time and he'd [A]give her time
But [F#m]time is not given and [D]time is not taken
It just[E] sifts through its [A]sieve
But [F#m]time is not given and [D]time is not taken
It just[E] sifts through its [A]sieve
[D] [A] [E] [D] [A] [E]
Oh, sift through its [D]sieve[A], [E]sift through its [D]sieve[A] [E]
Oh, [D]oo[A]h.[E]...[D]..[A]..[E]..sift through its [D]sieve[A]..[E]..sift through its [D]sieve[A] [E]
He was a [D]husba[A]nd who [E]drove, time, home, [D]time, [A]car, h[E]ope
Core, [D]cores a day, [A]pour c[E]offee, c[D]ore warning,[A] last [E]warning
Was a [D]husband, [A]time, pine, [E]scrub, scrub, bath[D]room, c[A]lean,
H[E]air, bath, car, window, [D]hope, [A]time, gift[E]
Don't they [D]build buildings [A]tall these [E]days...
