Chords

This is my first tab, I figured it out by listening to this vid: Common time; Key of C (listen to the track for chord changes, it's actually quite apparent when they do) Intro: C Em|Am G|Dm |Dm G| (and repeat once) Verse:
    C                      Em
I built a man made out of bricks

      F              G 
and lived inside his chest

   C                        Em
I beat my hands against the walls

           F              G 
To make a heart beat in his breast

  F                           G 
I smashed my fist against his ribs

    C       Em   F
to suck the air inside

    F                  G
and swing by swing and blow by blow

  F                   G
I brought that man to life (hold G for one more bar)
Intro again (omit the Dm and G though) C Em|Am G| (repeat) Verse II: (arpeggiated)
    C                      Em
I built a man and cut his skin

     F                G
and lived inside his heart

   C                     Em
I pumped it with my fingertips 

     F                G
and loved it from the start

          C
And with every beat I gave him

  F                Fm 
a heart beat of my own

           C 
and then I filled his veins

         F 
with the blood I had

        Dm         G
Til his blo-oh-oh-oh-od (x 3)

       C  Em Am F  C Em Am G 
Was my oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohn

        Am
Oh, I'd build you up, 

    G                     F       (F G)  
but we're not made of the same stuff,

                Am                 G
And even though I knocked you down,                      

                F              (F G)  
you're so much stronger than me              (repeat this time with mute)

               Am
Well, I would build you up, 

    G                     F          G
but we're not made of the same stuff,

                  Am              G
And even though I knocked you down, 

               F          G (hold for two bars)
you're so much stronger 

F / / / |G / / / (x 2)
Than MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~
