Building My Body Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm [Eb]buil[Em]ding [G]my [D]bod[G]y
I'm happy when I'm [Em]building my body
I'm tired of [G]fighting, [A]let's make friends
I'm tired of [Eb]burning both [D]ends
That's [G]why I'm building my body
It hurts me but I'm [Em]building my body
And I know [A]what the pain is worth
I know I feel the [Eb]pain of [D]birth
I'm [A]pushin' [G]up
And gettin' down with my body
There's no- one else
[Em]around with my body
One look [A]says I'm a stone disgrace
Don't kick [Eb]no sand in my [D]face

[Verse 2]
Because I'm [C]building my [Cm]body strong
[G]I'm watching what I eat
And I'm sort[C]ing out [Cm]right from [G]wrong
Hey, not a lot of meat
And I [C]know that it [F#]won't be long
[G]Before I gotta quit smoking
[Eb][D]

[Verse 3]
Because I'm [G]building my body
I'm peaceful when I'm
[Em]building my body
I'm sweating [A]out mistakes
I've made
I'm getting back [Cm]the dues [Eb]I've [D]paid
I'm doing [A]more
And getting [G]sore with my body
But I'm gaining a rapport
[Em]with my body
And this seem[F#]s like
[A]the perfect time
They say I'm [Eb]in my p[D]rime

[Verse 4]
That's why I'm [C]building my [Cm]body strong
[G]I'm thinking at the table
And I'm [C]sorting out [Cm]right from wrong
[G]I'm reading every label
And I [C]know that it [F#]won't be long
[G]Before I gotta quit smoking
[Eb]

[Verse 5]
[D]
'Cause I'm [G]building my body
There's someone else in
[Em]side of my body
He's waiting [F#]to be[A] born again
[Em]
