Intro - nb this is mostly in free time, all based on the D chords as below:
=====
Verse 1
=======
When your heart is black and broken
And you need a helping hand
When you're so much in love
You don't know just how much you can stand
Verse 2
=======
When your questions go un-answered
And the silence is killing you
Take my hand baby I'm your man
I've got loving enough for two
Chorus 1
========
Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you oooh ooh oooh
Who can take you higher
Than twin peak mountain blue
Oh well I built this thing for you
And I love you true
Verse 3
=======
There's no sure-fire set so-lutions
No shortcut through the trees
No breach in the wall
That they put there to keep you from me
Verse 4
=======
As you're lying awake in this darkness
This everlasting night
Someday soon don't know where or when
You're gonna wake up and see the light
Chorus 2
========
Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you oooh ooh oooh
Who can take you higher
Than twin peak mountain blue
Oh well I built this thing for you
And I love you true
Guitar solo over the following chords
===========
Chorus 3
========
Ten storey love song
I built this thing for you oooh ooh oooh
Who can take you higher
Than twin peak mountain blue
Oh well I built this thing for you
And I love you true
