Love And Great Buildings

	  		
Intro: G   D 

verse 1 
    G                              D 
 My heart is an apartment building on the verge 
   G                                 D 
 A testament to days more optimistic 
     G                                           D 
 The market shifts can cause storm systems to converge 
      G                                      D 
 'Til all your high rise dreams seem unrealistic 


Pre-Chorus   
                    Em 
 I want to keep the lights on 
                   G                       D 
 I could raise the rents and resurface the pool 
                  Em 
 I could take the banks on 
              G 
 Repay all my debts 
                    D 
 Get my ass back to school 


A     Bm        G                 D 
 Love and great buildings will survive 
A       Bm         G              D 
 Strong hearts and concrete stay alive 
             A       Bm  
 Through the great depressions 
           G                 D         A         Bm      G    D 
 Yeah, the best things are designed to stand the test of time 



verse 2 

 G                                           D 
 Brick and plaster, beams and broken windows 
 G                                             D 
 Shadows pass on sidewalks cracking to the curb 


Pre-Chorus 
            Em 
 I want the lights on 
                G 
 Repair the foundation 
              D 
 Maybe hire a crew 
                Em 
 Plant a little garden 
               G 
 Start the renovation 
                    D 
 Get my ass back to you 

 
A     Bm        G                 D 
 Love and great buildings will survive 
A       Bm         G              D 
 Strong hearts and concrete stay alive 
             A       Bm  
 Through the great depressions 
           G                 D         A         Bm      G    D 
 Yeah, the best things are designed to stand the test of time 


Bridge: G   D   G   D 


A     Bm        G                 D 
 Love and great buildings will survive 
A       Bm         G              D 
 Strong hearts and concrete stay alive 
             A       Bm  
 Through the great depressions 
           G                 D         A         Bm      G    D

 Love and great buildings will endure 
A     Bm        G                  D 
 Blue skies and bloodlines are the cure 
         A       Bm            G                   D    
 For the great deceptions in a world that's such a blur 
       A         Bm      G    D 
 We'll stand the test of time 
       A         Bm      G    D 
 We'll stand the test of time 
       A         Bm      G    D 
 We'll stand the test of time
