3/4 -
The tide is high
I've never been so low
You got room to grow
You can never look up
You can't ever look down
You get kicked around
Chorus
But I built it with sand
and I built it with rock
I built it with all of the
things that I'm not
And I watch from the hill
as it burns to the ground
I can still see the smoke
from my train out of town
4/4
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down
Verse
I close my eyes
Scared of what I saw
Are you man at all?
Been an open book
Been a slammed door
Apple of the trojan war
chorus in 6/8
4/4
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down
3/4
Drink a little bit
that's a little bit
Take a chance
or lose it all
I have no remorse
no regrets
when I'm hanging from
the seventeenth floor
4/4
The tide is high
I've never been so low
You got room to grow
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down
