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