Chorus:
B        C#m
Oh sweet architect,
              A            E
my bones are heavy and my soul's a mess.
 B          C#m                 A            E
Can't find my address, build me up, build me up.
B        C#m
Oh sweet architect,
           A                E
I've been lonely since the day you left.
    B         C#m                 A            E
So come find my address, build me up, build me up.

 B           C#m                           A
Say we've got deep love, but it's a deeper ocean.
E                       B
Dear God help us keep floating.
C#m                   A
Some choke, and some panic,
E                               B
see, some got a boat, but most haven't.
C#m                              A
Oh dear heaven, you know we're tryin' to make it.
E                               B
But dear heaven, you know it's complicated.
F#m                                            E
Got deep love, but it's a, a deeper ocean, we got deep love.

Chorus:
Oh sweet architect
My bones are heavy and my soul's a mess
Come find my address
And build me up, build me up
Oh sweet architect
I've been lonely since the day you left
Come find my address
And build me up, build me up

Yeah we're still hearing and we're still breathing
Knee deep with a deep needing
We stay brave though we've been damaged
See most got a heart, but some's savage
Oh dear heaven, I hope you're up to something
'Cause dear heaven, this just can't be for nothing
We're still here, and we're, we're still breathing
Yeah we're still here

Chorus:
Oh sweet architect
My bones are heavy and my soul's a mess
Come find my address
And build me up, build me up
Oh sweet architect
I've been lonely since the day you left
Come find my address
And build me up, build me up

         B            C#m
Build me up, build me up.
         A            E
Build me up, build me up
         B            C#m
Build me up, build me up.
         A            E
Build me up, build me up
         B            C#m
Build me up, build me up.
         A            E
Build me up, build me up

Oh sweet architect
My bones are heavy and my soul's a mess
Come find my address
Build me up, build me up
Oh sweet architect
I've been lonely since the day you left
Come find my address
Build me up, build me up
