     E                          F#
The birds have left their trees
    G#m
The light bores onto me
       E
I can feel you lying there
            G#m F#
All on your own
        E              F#
We got here the hard way
           G#m
All those words that we exchanged
E                          G#m F#
Is it any wonder things get dark

       C#m
'Cause in my heart and in my head
   E
I never take back the things I've said,
   G#m
So high above
    F#
"I feel it coming down", she said
C#m
In my heart and in my head
 E
Tell me why this has to end
     B
Oh, no
     F#
Oh, no

Chorus:
E            F#
I can't save us
G#m           F#
My Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
E             F#
I can't save us
G#m              F#
My Atlantis, oh, no
                           E  F# G#m F# E G#m  F#
We build it up to pull it down

Now all the birds have fled
The hurt just leaves me scared
Losing everything I've ever known
It's all become too much
Maybe I'm not built for love
If I knew that I could reach you, I would go

It's in my heart and in my head
You can't take back the things you said
So high above, I feel it coming down
She said, "In my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end
Oh, no, oh, no"

Chorus:
I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh, no
We build it up to pull it down

        G#m
And we build it up
                  E
And we build it up
        G#m           F#         E
And we build it up to pull it down

        G#m
And we build it up
                  E
And we build it up
        G#m           F#
And we build it up to pull it down

Chorus:
I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh, no
We build it up to pull it down
