           Dm   F
The cycle repeated
      Am                     G
As explosions broke in the sky
            Dm F
All that I needed
        Am                    G
Was the one thing I couldn't find

              Dm
And you were there at the turn
 F                 Am G
Waiting to let me know

Chorus:
                  Dm F
We're building it up
                  Am G
To break it back down
                  Dm F
We're building it up
               Am
To burn it down

We can't wait
    G               Dm
To burn it to the ground

The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down

And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know

Chorus

             Dm
You told me yes, you held me high
         F
And I believed when you told that lie
          Am
I played soldier, you played king
               G
And struck me down when I kissed that ring

You lost that right to hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn

And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

Chorus

When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
