Verse 1:
B
We built this up together
Abm
on a shaky ground
F#
Before too long it
E
started crumbling down
Abm
So I got out before the
B
whole thing hit the floor
F#
But you knew better
E
I'd be back for more
Abm F#
And when I finally did
B E
it was strange to see
Abm F#
That you rebuilt it
B E
with no help from me
Abm F#
The same foundation
B E
but the rest is new
Abm
You made this
F# B
it belongs to you
Chorus 1:
E F#
It all went by too fast
Abm C#
No time to react
E
Once you have fired the shots
F# B
They can't be taken back
Verse 2:
B
You spread your roots
and make your things
Abm
for all of me
F#
The ground is soft but
E
there's no room to breathe
Abm
You had to push and
B
force into abnormal growth
F#
We could have dreamed
E
it if we took it slow
Abm F#
But from the highest branches
B E
there's much thinner air
Abm F#
And things are different
B E
when you're way up there
Abm F#
Now all I want is you
B E
to come back down
Abm F#
And start again
B
on level ground
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
E
I went and left you for dead
B F#
But you just got up again
E
And every fight just
B F#
seems to make you stronger
E
I tried to tear this apart
B C#m
But it was blown
from the start
E F#
Cause you just had to
G
grab them all and run

to come back down
