Allister - From the ground up

We built this ^Bup together on a ^G#mshaky ground ^F# Before too long it started ^Ecrumbling down So I got ^G#mout before the whole thing ^Bhit the floor ^F# But you knew better I'd be ^Eback for more And when^G#m I finally ^F#did it was s^Btrange to ^Esee ^G#m That you re^F#built it with no ^Bhelp from ^Eme ^G#m The same foun^F#dation but the ^Brest is ^Enew ^G#m You made this ^F#it belongs to ^Byou

It all went ^Eby too ^F#fast ^G#mNo time to re^C#act Once you have ^Efired the shots They ^F#can't be taken ^Bback

You spread your ^Broots and make your things for ^G#mall of me ^F# The ground is soft but there's no ^Eroom to breathe You had to ^G#mpush and force into ab^Bnormal growth ^F# We could have dreamed it if we ^Etook it slow But from the^G#m highest ^F#branches there's much ^Bthinner ^Eair ^G#m And things are ^F#different when you're ^Bway up ^Ethere ^G#m Now all I ^F#want is you to ^Bcome back ^Edown ^G#m And start a^F#gain on level ^Bground

^E I went and left you for dead ^B But you just ^F#got up again ^E And every fight just seems to ^Bmake you s^F#tronger ^E I tried to tear this apart ^B But it was ^C#mblown from the start ^E Cause ^F#you just had to ^Ggrab them all and run

But from the^G#m highest ^F#branches there's much ^Bthinner ^Eair ^G#m And things are ^F#different when you're ^Bway up ^Ethere ^G#m Now all I ^F#want is you to ^Bcome back ^Edown ^G#m And start a^F#gain on level ^Bground

It all went ^Eby too ^F#fast^{G G#m} Never could ^C#react Once you have ^Efired the shots F# B B(hold) They can't be taken back
