Dm F
The cycle repeated
C G
as explosions broke in the sky
Dm F
all that I needed
C G
was the one thing I couldn't find
Dm
And you were there at the turn
F C G
Waiting to let me know
[Refrão]
Dm
We're building it up
F C G
To break it back down
Dm F
We're building this up
C
To burn it down
We can't wait
G Dm F C G
To burn it to the ground
Dm F
The colors conflicted
C G
as the flames climbed into the clouds
Dm F
I wanted to fix this
C G
but couldn't stop from tearing it down
Dm
And you were caught at the turn
F C G
caught in the burning glow
Dm
And I was there at the turn
F C G
Waiting to let you know
[Refrão]
Dm
You told me yes
You held me high
F
And I believed when you told that lie
C
I played that soldier
You played king
G
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
Dm
You lost that right to hold that crown
F
I built you up but you let me down
C
so when you fall
I'll take my turn
G
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
Dm
And you were there at the turn
F C G
Waiting to let me know
Refrão
Dm
When you fall
I'll take my turn
F
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
C
We can't wait
G Dm F C G
To burn it to the ground
