Cm           G#               D#
You've been running with the ghost again
              Cm         G#
Singing "It's all gonna fall like we're
          D#
living a lie."
Cm           G#               D#
You've been tearing up these walls again
Cm                   G#                 D#
Ain't no place left here for a girl to hide

You know I tell you just like it is
Not gonna walk that far in the scars of another guy
And I'm not gonna give up all of this
Ain't no room left here for me to fly

Chorus:
Cm          G#        D#    A# 
And if our love is a hurricane
Cm       G#                D#  A# 
Broken phones and broken doors
Cm    G#              D#       A# 
Baby you know I can stand the rain
        Cm     G#        D#   A# 
Let it lift us off the floor

You use your words just like a criminal
Cut like a bullet from a gun
That shadow found me years ago
I've been bought, I've been shot with a lawless love

Chorus

 Fm
Build it up
    Cm
To tear it down
Gm                 G#
Let it fall right to the ground
Fm
All the words
     Cm
That we could bleed
Gm
Let it fly
     G#
Just you and me

D#  A#   Cm
Wasted pride
G#                    D# A#   Cm
It comes in like the rolling tide
G#                    D#  A#   Cm
We don't have to give up this fight
    G#                    D#  A# Cm
But it's too late to give up tonight
