[Intro]
C  D  Em      C  Em  D
[Strophe]
     C 
The birds have left their trees 
      D              Em 
The light pours onto me 
       C 
I can feel you lying there 
            Em    D 
All on your own 
        C 
We got here the hard way 
           D                Em 
All those words that we exchanged 
C                            Em   D 
Is it any wonder things get brooooooke
[Pre-Refrain]
       Am 
'Cause in my heart and in my head 
      C 
I'll never take back the things I said, 
    Em 
So high above 
    D 
"I feel it coming down", she said 
Am 
In my heart and in my head 
 C 
Tell my why this has to end 
    G 
Oh, no 
     D 
Oh, nooooooooo
[Refrain]
C 
I can't save us 
Em                D 
My  Atlantis, we fall 
  
We built this town on shaky ground 
C 
I can't save us 
Em               D 
My Atlantis, oh, no 
                             C   D   Em   C   Em   D 
We build it up to pull it down
[Strophe]
     C 
Now all the birds have fled 
     D                   Em 
The hurt just leaves me scared 
 C                           Em   D 
Losing everything I've ever known 
      C 
It's all become too much 
       D                Em 
Maybe I'm not built for love 
      C 
If I knew that I could reach you, 
         Em   D 
I would gooo-oooo
[Pre-Refrain]
     Am 
It's in my heart and in my head 
     C 
You can't take back the things you said, 
    Em 
So high above 
    D 
"I feel it coming down", she said 
Am 
In my heart and in my head 
 C 
Tell my why this has to end 
    G 
Oh, no 
     D 
Oh, noooooooo
[Refrain]
C 
I can't save us 
Em                D 
My  Atlantis, we fall 
  
We built this town on shaky ground 
C 
I can't save us 
Em               D 
My Atlantis, oh, no 
                             C 
We build it up to pull it down  
        Em 
And we built it up 
                   C 
And we built it up 
        Em             D            C 
And we built it up to pull it down  
        Em 
And we built it up 
                   C 
And we built it up 
        Em             D 
And we built it up to pull it down
