Verse 1: C G Build me up, don't get me down Dm Weather the storm F Well, life goes on C G Feelings ebb and flow by the hour Dm You're up in the clouds F And then you sink like a stone Chorus: F So do you feed yourself with pills? C Oh, to deaden your ills? F Or are you only one love short Am Of happiness F And in a picture on the wall C No glimmer of yourself at all Dm F You've left yourself far away Verse 2: C G Build me up, don't mop my brow Dm Weather the storm? No F Because life goes on C G And it's my only hope right now Dm To soar like a bird F And not to sink like a stone Chorus: F So do you feed yourself with pills? C Oh, to deaden your ills? F Or are you only one love short Am Of happiness F And in a picture on the wall C No glimmer of yourself at all Dm F You've left yourself far away Interlude: G Solo -x2-: C G Dm F Chorus: F Oh, so do you feed yourself with pills? C To cure you of your ills F Or are you only one love short Am Of the happy days to come F And in a picture on the wall C You can't see your face at all Dm So untie yourself F Because that's all you've got to do F And I can grow a pair of wings C And I can take off flying There'll be no crying F Am Up in the air, looking back down F And let me tell you, if I talk about gloom C I don't get out of feeling down Dm It strips you of yourself Bb C and it splits you from the self that you know...
The solo part is (and this is about to get confusing)
• [Pointer finger on first fret of A string, middle on third of E, ring on fourth of C] C string fourth fret, E string third fret, C string fourth fret, A string first fret SLIDE to second, use pinky for A string seventh fret
• [Pointer finger on first fret of E string, pinky/ring on third of C] strum strings C, E, A, [take off pinky/ring finger, put ring/middle finger on second fret of A] pluck A string, PULL OFF ring/middle finger to make sound
• [Middle finger on first fret of A string] play A string SLIDE pointer from first to second fret, play open A string, [ring finger on] third fret of E, open A, third fret of E, [middle finger on] second fret of E string,
• [Pointer finger on] second fret of C string, [ring finger] fourth fret of C string
THIS IS DEFINITELY VERY CONFUSING BUT IF YOU DO UNDERSTAND, I HOPE IT WORKS
I find Em works and sounds great if E is too hard!
Any mother cord than E that could work here? Help

if you’ve ever heard the acoustic version and wanna play it more like that, -2 is good for that
