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