[Intro]
Dm F Am G 2x
[Verse]
Dm F
The cycle repeated
Am G
as explosions broke in the sky
Dm F
all that I needed
Am G
was the one thing I couldn't find
Dm
And you were there at the turn
F Am G
Waiting to let me know
[Chorus]
Dm F
We're building it up
C G
To break it back down
Dm F
We're building it up
C
To burn it down
G
We can't wait
Dm
To burn it to the ground
[Interlude]
F Am G
[Verse]
Dm F
The colors conflicted
Am G
as the flames climbed into the clouds
Dm F
I wanted to fix this / but
Am G
couldn't stop from tearing it down
Dm
And you were there at the turn
F Am G
caught in the burning glow
Dm
And I was there at the turn
F Am G
Waiting to let you know
[Chorus]
Dm F
We're building it up
C G
To break it back down
Dm F
We're building it up
C
To burn it down
We can't wait
G
To burn it to the ground
[Bridge]
Dm
You told me yes. You held me high
F
And I believed when you told that lie
Am
I played that soldier. You played king
G
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
Dm
You lost that right to hold that crown
F
I built you up but you let me down
Am
so when you fall. I'll take my turn
G
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
Dm~
And you were there at the turn
F~ Am~ G~
Waiting to let me know
[Chorus]
Dm F
We're building it up
C G
To break it back down
Dm F
We're building it up
C
To burn it down
We can't wait
G Dm
To burn it to the ground
[Outro]
so when you fall / I'll take my turn
F C
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait
G Dm
To burn it to the ground
so when you fall / I'll take my turn
F C
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait
G Dm
To burn it to the ground
