Verse 1: B We built this up together G#m on a shaky ground F# Before too long it E started crumbling down G#m So I got out before the B whole thing hit the floor F# But you knew better E I'd be back for more G#mF# And when I finally did BE it was strange to see G#mF# That you rebuilt it BE with no help from me G#mF# The same foundation BE but the rest is new G#m You made this F#B it belongs to you

Verse 2: B You spread your roots and make your things G#m for all of me F# The ground is soft but E there's no room to breathe G#m You had to push and B force into abnormal growth F# We could have dreamed E it if we took it slow G#mF# But from the highest branches BE there's much thinner air G#mF# And things are different BE when you're way up there G#mF# Now all I want is you BE to come back down G#mF# And start again B on level ground
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge: E I went and left you for dead BF# But you just got up again E And every fight just BF# seems to make you stronger E I tried to tear this apart BC#m But it was blown from the start EF# Cause you just had to G grab them all and run
