Verse 1:
G#
We built this up together
Fm
on a shaky ground
D#
Before too long it
C#
started crumbling down
Fm
So I got out before the
G#
whole thing hit the floor
D#
But you knew better
C#
I'd be back for more
Fm D#
And when I finally did
G# C#
it was strange to see
Fm D#
That you rebuilt it
G# C#
with no help from me
Fm D#
The same foundation
G# C#
but the rest is new
Fm
You made this
D# G#
it belongs to you
Chorus 1:
C# D#
It all went by too fast
Fm A#
No time to react
C#
Once you have fired the shots
D# G#
They can't be taken back
Verse 2:
G#
You spread your roots
and make your things
Fm
for all of me
D#
The ground is soft but
C#
there's no room to breathe
Fm
You had to push and
G#
force into abnormal growth
D#
We could have dreamed
C#
it if we took it slow
Fm D#
But from the highest branches
G# C#
there's much thinner air
Fm D#
And things are different
G# C#
when you're way up there
Fm D#
Now all I want is you
G# C#
to come back down
Fm D#
And start again
G#
on level ground
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
C#
I went and left you for dead
G# D#
But you just got up again
C#
And every fight just
G# D#
seems to make you stronger
C#
I tried to tear this apart
G# A#m
But it was blown
from the start
C# D#
Cause you just had to
E
grab them all and run

C# D# E Fm
It all went by too fast
A#
Never could react
C#
Once you have fired the shots
D# G# B(hold)
They can't be taken back
