Standard (EADGBE)

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
