Key: B5

Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Verse 1:
              B5
We built this up together
     Ab5
on a shaky ground
F#5
  Before too long it 
        E5
started crumbling down
         Ab5
So I got out before the 
            B5
whole thing hit the floor
F#5
  But you knew better 
       E5
I'd be back for more
        Ab5          F#5
And when   I finally did 
        B5         E5
it was strange to see
Ab5           F#5
   That you rebuilt it 
        B5         E5
with no help from me
Ab5             F#5
   The same foundation 
        B5       E5
but the rest is new
Ab5
   You made this 
F#5            B5
it belongs to you


Chorus 1:
            E5      F#5
It all went by too fast
Ab5          C#5
No time to react
              E5
Once you have fired the shots
     F#5             B5
They can't be taken back


Verse 2:
                B5
You spread your roots
and make your things 
    Ab5
for all of me
F#5
  The ground is soft but
           E5
there's no room to breathe
           Ab5
You had to push and
             B5
force into abnormal growth
F#5
  We could have dreamed
         E5
it if we took it slow
            Ab5        F#5
But from the   highest branches
             B5       E5
there's much thinner air
Ab5               F#5
   And things are different
            B5      E5
when you're way up there
Ab5          F#5
   Now all I want is you
   B5         E5
to come back down
Ab5           F#5
   And start again 
         B5
on level ground


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
E5
  I went and left you for dead
B5              F#5
  But you just got up again
E5
  And every fight just
         B5         F#5
seems to make you stronger
E5
  I tried to tear this apart
B5            C#5
  But it was blown 
from the start
E5       F#5
  Cause you just had to
G5
grab them all and run

Verse 3:
            Ab5        F#5
But from the   highest branches
             B5       E5
there's much thinner air
Ab5               F#5
   And things are different
            B5      E5
when you're way up there
Ab5          F#5
   Now all I want is you
   B5         E5
to come back down
Ab5           F#5
   And start again 
         B5
on level ground


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
            E5      F#5  G5 Ab5
It all went by too fast
            C#5
Never could react
              E5
Once you have fired the shots
     F#5             B5   B(hold)
They can't be taken back
