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

We're building it up
A
To burn it down
We can't wait
E Bm
To burn it to the ground
[Outro]
so when you fall / I'll take my turn
D A
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait
E Bm
To burn it to the ground
so when you fall / I'll take my turn
D A
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait

To burn it to the ground
