Verse 1:
F G Am
The birds that left the trees the light bores onto me
F Am G
I can feel you lying there all on your own
F G Am
We got here the hard way all those words that we exchange
F Am G
Is it any wonder things get broke
Pre-Chorus:
Dm
Cause in my heart and in my head
F
I’ll never take back the things I said
Am
So high above
G
I feel it coming down
Dm
She said in my heart and in my head
F
Tell me why this has to end
C
Oh no
G
Oh no
Chorus:
F Am G
I can’t save us my Atlantis we fall
(G)
We built this town on shaky ground
F Am G
I can’t save us my Atlantis oh no
(G)
We built it up to pull it down
Verse 2:
F G Am
Now all the birds have fled the hurt just leaves me scared
F Am G
Losing everything I’ve ever known
F G Am
It’s all become too much maybe I’m not built for love
F Am G
If I knew that I could reach you I would go
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Am F
And we build it up and we build it up
Am G F
And we build it up to pull it down
Am F
And we build it up and we build it up
Am G F
And we build it up to pull it down
(Chorus)
