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: 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 You spread your roots and anchored into 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’ve trimmed it if we took it slow But from the highest branches there's much thinner air And things look different when you're way up there Now all I want is you to come back down And start again on level ground Chorus 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 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 Chorus It all went by too fast Never could react Once you have fired the shots, they can't be taken back You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsB  C#  C#m  E  F#  G  G#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
