[Intro]: B5 [ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]Bmaj7/E[/ch] x2
B5 [ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/E[/ch] B5
I'm gonna pick up the pieces, and build a Lego house
[ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/E[/ch] B5
If things go wrong we can knock it down
[ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/E[/ch] B5
My three words have two meanings, there's one thing on my mind
[ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/E[/ch]
It's all for you, oh
B5 [ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/E[/ch]
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
B5 [ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] /E
If you're broken I will mend you, and I keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
B5 [ch]B5/C#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/F#[/ch]
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love, I'll pick you up when you're getting down
[ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/E[/ch] [ch]B5/F#[/ch]
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
B5 [ch]B5/C#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/F#[/ch]
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in time
[ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/E[/ch] [ch]B5/F#[/ch]
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
[Interlude]: B5 [ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]Bmaj7/E[/ch] B5/
B5 [ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/E[/ch] B5
I'm gonna paint you by numbers, and colour you in
[ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] /E B5
If things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall
[ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] [ch]B5/F#[/ch] B5
And it's so hard to say it, but I've been here before
[ch]B5/F#[/ch] [ch]B5/G#[/ch] /E
Now I'll surrender up my heart, and swap it for yours
