Chords used:

Verse 1

 We built this up together

 on a shaky ground

Before too long it

 started crumbling down

 So I got out before the

 whole thing hit the floor

But you knew better

 I'd be back for more

 And when I finally did

 it was strange to see

That you rebuilt it

 with no help from me

The same foundation

 but the rest is new

You made this

it belongs to you

Chorus 1

 It all went by too fast

No time to react

 Once you have fired the shots

 They can't be taken back

Verse 2

 You spread your roots

and make your things

 for all of me

The ground is soft but

 there's no room to breathe

 You had to push and

 force into abnormal growth

We could have dreamed

 it if we took it slow

 But from the highest branches

 there's much thinner air

And things are different

 when you're way up there

Now all I want is you

 to come back down

And start again

 on level ground

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

I went and left you for dead

But you just got up again

And every fight just

 seems to make you stronger

I tried to tear this apart

But it was blown

from the start

Cause you just had to

grab them all and run

Verse 3

 But from the highest branches

 there's much thinner air

And things are different

 when you're way up there

Now all I want is you

 to come back down

And start again

 on level ground

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 2

 It all went by too fast

 Never could react

 Once you have fired the shots

 They can't be taken back
