3/4 A5 - G5 A5 A5

A5
The tide is high
         G5                        A5
I've never been so low
                C5             E5      
You got room to grow

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

chorus:
            C5                    G5
But I built it with sand
              C5                 E5
and I built it with rock
      C5                G5            
I built it with all of the 
 C5                      A5
things that I'm not
            C5                         G5
And I watch from the hill
           C5                       E5
as it burns to the ground
           C5                          G5 -
I can still see the smoke
                                      A5
from my train out of town

4/4      A5         C5           G5               A5
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      A5         C5           G5               A5
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down

3/4 C5
Drink a little bit
G5
that's a little bit
C5
Take a chance
     E5
or lose it all
C5
I have no remorse 
G5
no regrets
C5
when I'm hanging from 
      E5
the seventeenth floor

4/4 A5
The tide is high
            G5        A5
I've never been so low
            C5            E5      
You got room to grow

A5               C5           G5               A5
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking 
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down
