[Chorus]
C G
Built my home on hollow ground
C F
Too proud to grow from my roots
C
I got a few friends and I wish they were
F
mine
Dm C F
Can’t get close, till I bide my time
[Verse 1]
C
There’s a closet for the pretty ones (ooh)
F C
They have no eyes but they’re a hell of a
G
sight
G C
Get too close and you’ll find a bridge between you
F G C
Cross it to find your synthetic light
[Chorus]
C G
Built my home on hollow ground
C F
Too proud to grow from my roots
C
I got a few friends and I wish they were
F
mine
Dm C F
Can’t get close, till I bide my time
[Verse 2]
C
There’s a man who lives in your favorite
G
watch
C G
He rides the second hand until he slips
F C F C
He holds on tight, but no fail he falls at
F G
twelve and lands on six (phew)
[Chorus]
C G
Built my home on hollow ground
C F
Too proud to grow from my roots
C
I got a few friends and I wish they were
F
mine
Dm C F
Can’t get close, till I bide my time
[Verse 3]
C G
There’s a school for trolls (a school for trolls)
F E
That teaches them how to make a human cry (a human cry)
F G F
Tell them that they’re lovely then say (lovely, say)
C G
You always lie
[Chorus]
C G
Built my home on hollow ground
C F
Too proud to grow from my roots
C
I got a few friends and I wish they were
F
mine
Dm C F
Can’t get close, till I bide my time
[Outro]
Dm C
No I can’t get close
F
Till I bide my time
Built my home on hollow ground
Too proud to grow from my roots
I've got a few friends and I wish they were mine
Can't get close till I buy my time
There's a closet for the pretty ones
They have no eyes but they're a helluva sight
Get too close and you'll find the bridge between you
Cross it to find your synthetic light
Built my home on hollow ground
Too proud to grow from my roots
I've got a few friends and I wish they were mine
Can't get close till I buy my time
There's a man who lives in your favorite watch
He rides the second hand until he slips
He holds on tight but no fail he falls
At 12 and lands on 6
Built my home on hollow ground
Too proud to grow from my roots
I've got a few friends and I wish they were mine
Can't get close till I buy my time
There's a school for trolls
That teaches them how to make a human cry
Tell them that they're lovely
Then say you always lie
Built my home on hollow ground
Too proud to grow from my roots
I've got a few friends and I wish they were mine
Can't get close till I buy my time
No I can't get close till I buy my time
