Intro: F Am G
F Am G
I'll burn it down, and build it up better
F Am G
Sometimes it hurts to forget the past
Am C
And I'm tired of waiting for something to
G
Happen with you
Am C
And I'm trying to save it, but deep down
G
There's nowhere to move
Am C
And I'm getting lost, soaked to the bones
F G
With nothing to prove
Am C
I'm covered in hope, I'm feeling with doubt
F G
That I'm not over you, no I'm not over you
F Am G
So why burn it down, to build it up better
F Am G
Sometimes it hurts to forget the past
F Am
I'll burn it down
G
And bring it back stronger
F Am G
Sometimes it's screwed to forget the past
Am C
And I'm taking your words, my heart in the
G
Palm of your hands
Am C
And I'm putting my trust in an entire
G
Half-empty glass
Am C
And I'm getting tired of making excuses
F G
To find it won't last
Am C
I'm covered in hope, feeling with doubt
F G
That I'm not the last, no I'm not the last
F Am G
So why burn it down, build it up better
F Am G
Sometimes it hurts to forget the past
F Am G
Oh burn it down and bring it back stronger
F Am G
Sometimes it's screwed to forget the past
