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