 Intro: Dm C F Am C G }x5

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

Chorus:
          Dm  C  F
We're building it up
                Am  C  G
To break it back down
                Dm  C  F
We're building it up
               Am
To burn it down
                C  G
We can't wait
              
To burn it to the ground

Dm  C  F Am  C  G

                 Dm  C  F 
The colors conflicted
           Am    C     G
as the flames climbed into the clouds
        Dm  C  F 
I wanted to fix this / but
          Am     C       G
couldn't stop from tearing it down

         Dm             C
And you were there at the turn
F               Am  C   G
caught in the burning glow
        Dm      C
And I was there at the turn
F            Am C  G
Waiting to let you know

Chorus:
            Dm C F
We're building it up
            Am C G
To break it back down
            Dm C F
We're building it up
       Am 
To burn it down
       C
We can't wait
   G           
To burn it to the ground

Dm                      C
You told me yes / You held me high
       F           
And I believed when you told that lie
           Am               C
I played that soldier / You played king
           G              
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
           Dm                C
You lost that right / to hold that crown
         F           
I built you up but you let me down
         Am               C
so when you fall / I'll take my turn
          G                
and fan the flames as your blazes burn

(1 strum each)
         Dm            C
And you were there at the turn
F            Am  C   G
Waiting to let me know

Chorus:
            Dm C F
We're building it up
            Am C G

       Am
To burn it down
       C
We can't wait
   G           Dm
To burn it to the ground
            C
so when you fall / I'll take my turn

and fan the flames as your blazes burn 

Am         C
We can't wait
