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#m          F#
And when   I finally did 
        B         E
it was strange to see
G#m           F#
   That you rebuilt it 
        B         E
with no help from me
G#m             F#
   The same foundation 
        B       E
but the rest is new
G#m
   You made this 
F#            B
it belongs to you


Chorus 1:
            E      F#
It all went by too fast
G#m          C#
No time to react
              E
Once you have fired the shots
     F#             B
They can't be taken back


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#m        F#
But from the   highest branches
             B       E
there's much thinner air
G#m               F#
   And things are different
            B      E
when you're way up there
G#m          F#
   Now all I want is you
   B         E
to come back down
G#m           F#
   And start again 
         B
on level ground


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
E
  I went and left you for dead
B              F#
  But you just got up again
E
  And every fight just
         B         F#
seems to make you stronger
E
  I tried to tear this apart
B            C#m
  But it was blown 
from the start
E       F#
  Cause you just had to
G
grab them all and run


Guitar Solo: B-G#m-F#-E- x2 E--


Verse 3:
            G#m        F#
But from the   highest branches
             B       E
there's much thinner air
G#m               F#
   And things are different
            B      E
when you're way up there
G#m          F#
   Now all I want is you
   B         E
to come back down
G#m           F#
   And start again 
         B
on level ground


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
            E      F#  G G#m
It all went by too fast
            C#
Never could react
              E
Once you have fired the shots
     F#             B   B(hold)
They can't be taken back
