Well, have you been to the broken bricks girl?
      A5               C5      D5   C5
Snuck down through the cyclone fence
         A5      C5           D5       C5
Past the caution tape and the security gate
    A5           C5        D5    C5
Backwards to the breakroom bench
      A5               C5               D5        C5
Well, there's a little corner where you first got kissed
              A5         C5                D5      C5
And felt your boyfriends fist and made the company list
    A5               C5              D5      C5
And there's a little spot where your dad ate lunch
         A5             C5        D5          C5
And your brother landed his first punch yeah, yeah, yeah

BREAK 1

VERSE 2:
Well have you been to the broken bricks girl
Seen the barrels that they left behind?
Seen the machine that cut aluminium clean
And got tape from the caution sign
Broken tooth window panes
Just a rusty-colored rain that drives a man insane
You try to jump over water but you land in oil
Climb the ladder up a broken crane yeah, yeah, yeah

      A5        C5           D5    E5
Don't go to the broken bricks girl
             A5             C5        D5 E5
It's not the place that you want to be
A5              C5               D5        E5
Think about the spot your father spent his life
    A5               C5         D5 E5
Demolition calls it "Building C"
    A5               C5          D5  E5
Demolition calls it "Building C," now
    A5               C5         D5  E5
Demolition calls it "Building C" now    yeah
A5
