Burn It Down

[Intro]
Am C Em D 2x


[Verse]
           Am    C
The cycle repeated
     Em                     D
as explosions broke in the sky
            Am   C
all that I needed
        Em                    D
was the one thing I couldn't find
             Am
And you were there at the turn
C                 Em  D
Waiting to let me know


[Chorus]
                  Am  C
We're building it up
                  C  G
To break it back down
                  Am  C
We're building it up
           G
To burn it down
         D
We can't wait
                      Am
To burn it to the ground


[Interlude]
C Em D


[Verse]
               Am  C
The colors conflicted
         Em           
  as the flames climbed
            D
into the clouds
            Am   C
I wanted to fix this / but
         Em                    D
couldn't stop from tearing it down
              Am
And you were there at the turn
C                      Em  D
caught in the burning glow
           Am
And I was there at the turn
C                  Em  D
Waiting to let you know


[Chorus]
                  Am  C
We're building it up
                  C  G
To break it back down
                  Am  C
We're building it up
           G
To burn it down

We can't wait
     D
To burn it to the ground


[Bridge]
Am
You told me yes. You held me high
           C  
And I believed when

you told that lie
                 Em  
I played that soldier.

You played king
                D  
And struck me down

when I kissed that ring
                 Am  
You lost that right

to hold that crown
             C
I built you up but you let me down
             Em  
so when you fall.

I'll take my turn
               D  
and fan the flames

as your blazes burn
              Am~
And you were there at the turn
C~                  Em~  D~
Waiting to let me know


[Chorus]
                  Am  C
We're building it up
                  C  G
To break it back down
                  Am  C
We're building it up
           G
To burn it down

We can't wait
     D                Am
To burn it to the ground


[Outro]

so when you fall / I'll take my turn
               C   
  and fan the flames
                      G
as your blazes burn

We can't wait
     D                Am
To burn it to the ground

so when you fall / I'll take my turn
               C   
  and fan the flames
                      G
as your blazes burn

We can't wait
     D                Am
To burn it to the ground

C Em D
Am  C  Em  D
