3/4 Am - G Am Am

Am
The tide is high
         G                        Am
I've never been so low
                C             E      
You got room to grow

You can never look up
You can't ever look down
You get kicked around

chorus:
            C                    G
But I built it with sand
              C                 E
and I built it with rock
      C                G            
I built it with all of the 
 C                      Am
things that I'm not
            C                         G
And I watch from the hill
           C                       E
as it burns to the ground
           C                          G -
I can still see the smoke
                                      Am
from my train out of town

4/4      Am         C           G               Am
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down

verse:
I close my eyes
Scared of what I saw
Are you man at all?

Been an open book
Been a slammed door
Apple of the trojan war

chorus in 6/8

4/4      Am         C           G               Am
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down

3/4 C
Drink a little bit
G
that's a little bit
C
Take a chance
     E
or lose it all
C
I have no remorse 
G
no regrets
C
when I'm hanging from 
      E
the seventeenth floor

4/4 Am
The tide is high
            G        Am
I've never been so low
            C            E      
You got room to grow

Am               C           G               Am
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking 
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down
