Chords used:
We built this up together
on a shaky ground
Before too long it
started crumbling down
So I got out before the
whole thing hit the floor
But you knew better
I'd be back for more
And when I finally did
it was strange to see
That you rebuilt it
with no help from me
The same foundation
but the rest is new
You made this
it belongs to you
It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you have fired the shots
They can't be taken back
You spread your roots
and make your things
for all of me
The ground is soft but
there's no room to breathe
You had to push and
force into abnormal growth
We could have dreamed
it if we took it slow
But from the highest branches
there's much thinner air
And things are different
when you're way up there
Now all I want is you
to come back down
And start again
on level ground
(Repeat Chorus 1)
I went and left you for dead
But you just got up again
And every fight just
seems to make you stronger
I tried to tear this apart
But it was blown
from the start
Cause you just had to
grab them all and run
B-Gm-F#-E- x2 E--
But from the highest branches
there's much thinner air
And things are different
when you're way up there
Now all I want is you
to come back down
And start again
on level ground
(Repeat Chorus 1)
It all went by too fast
Never could react
Once you have fired the shots
They can't be taken back
