Dm C F
The cycle repeated
Am C G
as explosions broke in the sky
Dm C F
all that I needed
Am C G
was the one thing I couldn’t find
Dm C F
And you were there at the turn
Am C G
Waiting to let me know
Chorus:
Dm C F
We’re building it up
Am C G
To break it back down
Dm C F
We’re building it up
Am
To burn it down
C G
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground
Dm C F Am C G
Dm C F
The colors conflicted
Am C G
as the flames climbed into the clouds
Dm C F
I wanted to fix this / but
Am C G
couldn’t stop from tearing it down
Dm C
And you were there at the turn
F Am C G
caught in the burning glow
Dm C
And I was there at the turn
F Am C G
Waiting to let you know
Chorus:
Dm C F
We’re building it up
Am C G
To break it back down
Dm C F
We’re building it up
Am
To burn it down
C
We can’t wait
G
To burn it to the ground
Dm C
You told me yes / You held me high
F
And I believed when you told that lie
Am C
I played that soldier / You played king
G
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
Dm C
You lost that right / to hold that crown
F
I built you up but you let me down
Am C
so when you fall / I’ll take my turn
G
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
(1 strum each)
Dm C
And you were there at the turn
F Am C G
Waiting to let me know
Chorus:
Dm C F
We’re building it up
Am C G
To break it back down
Dm C F
We’re building it up
Am
To burn it down
C
We can’t wait
G Dm
To burn it to the ground
C
so when you fall / I’ll take my turn
F
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
Am C
We can’t wait
G Dm
To burn it to the ground
C
so when you fall / I’ll take my turn
F
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
Am C
We can’t wait
G
To burn it to the ground
