A pretty simple, easy to play version of "Buildings"  
     
         D     A     E                   D          A      E 
He was a husband who drove his wife home drunk from the parties  
         D     A     E                  D A E 
He was a husband who drove his wife home  
           D            A      E             D      A         E 
And in the car he would gently lean her head on the side door window  
           D       A         E                      D     A     E 
And in the bathroom he would hold her hair back and hope, saying:  

D        A                D        A                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they build buildings,  
D        A                F#m      E                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they build buildings, 
D        A                D        A                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they build buildings, 
D        A               E             A 
Oh, they build buildings so tall these days  

           D      A      E           D      A             E 
And in the morning she'd wake up and crouch recollections all day  
              D      A      E                D      A E 
But she would always always wake up the next morning  
         D        A                 E      D        A  E 
And he'd take one look at her and say, oh, oh, it's okay 
        D         A      E                 D    A       E 
And her conscience would issue yet another last warning, saying;  

D        A                D        A                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they build buildings,  
D        A                F#m      E                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they build buildings, 
D        A                D        A                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they build buildings, 
D        A               E             A 
Oh, they build buildings so tall these days  

              F#m                    D 
And she would ask for time and she'd ask for time 
          E                      A 
And she'd ask for time and she'd ask for time   
              F#m                    D               E          A 
And she would beg for time and she'd beg for time and call it a gift 
           
             F#m                    D 
And he would give her time and he'd give her time  
         E                      A 
And he'd give her time and he'd give her time 
    F#m                   D 
But time is not given and time is not taken  
       E                  A 
It just sifts through its sieve 
    F#m                   D 
But time is not given and time is not taken  
       E                  A 
It just sifts through its sieve 

D A E  D A E 

                 D    A E                     D    A E 
Sift through its sieve, just sift through its sieve 
    D A E  D A E                  D    A E                       D    A E 
Oh, darling......sift through its sieve....just sift through its sieve 

                D          A          E 
And it would be coffee and coffee and coffee  
               D          A           E 
And coffee and coffee and coffee some more  
D       A           E                         D      A       E 
He'd go to work and she'd take a sick day and rot at the core  
            
           D            A           E 
And by the time he came back, she'd scrub the bathrooms  
    D         A          E 
And make them smell like pine  
            D         A  E 
It would be almost as if nothing had happened  
    D         A       E             D         A       E 
And he'd give her time, oh, oh, and he'd give her time, saying: 

D        A                D        A                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they build buildings,  
D        A                    F#m              E                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, don't they build buildings, 
D        A                D        A                 
Oh, they build buildings, oh, they build buildings, 
D        A               E             A 
Oh, they build buildings so tall these days  

              F#m                    D 
And she would ask for time and she'd ask for time  
          E                      A      
And she'd ask for time and she'd beg for time 
              F#m                    D                E         A 
And she would beg for time and she'd beg for time and call it a gift  
           
             F#m                    D 
And he would give her time and he'd give her time 
         E                      A 
And he'd give her time and he'd give her time 
    F#m                   D 
But time is not given and time is not taken  
       E                  A 
It just sifts through its sieve 
    F#m                   D 
But time is not given and time is not taken  
       E                  A 
It just sifts through its sieve 

D A E  D A E 

                     D    A E                D    A E 
Oh, sift through its sieve, sift through its sieve 
    D A E  D A E                  D    A E                  D    A E 
Oh, ooh..........sift through its sieve....sift through its sieve 

         D    A      E                  D     A     E 
He was a husband who drove, time, home, time, car, hope 
      D            A     E       D           A     E  
Core, cores a day, pour coffee, core warning, last warning 
      D        A           E                 D      A       
Was a husband, time, pine, scrub, scrub, bathroom, clean,  
 E                       D     A         E 
Hair, bath, car, window, hope, time, gift 

           D               A          E      
Don't they build buildings tall these days...
