Allister - From The Ground Up: chords

              B
We built this up together
     G#m
on a shaky ground
F#
Before too long it
          E
started crumbling down
         G#m
So I got out before the
             B
whole thing hit the floor
F#
But you knew better
        E
I'd be back for more
        G#m          F#
And when   I finally did
          B         E
it was strange to see
G#m         F#
That you rebuilt it
         B         E
with no help from me
G#m          F#
The same foundation
         B       E
but the rest is new
G#m
You made this
F#             B
it belongs to you

Chorus:
            E      F#
It all went by too fast
G#m          C#
No time to react
              E
Once you have fired the shots
     F#             B
They can't be taken back

You spread your roots and
anchored into all of me
The ground is soft but there's
no room to breathe
You had to push and force into
abnormal growth
We could’ve trimmed it if we took it slow
But from the highest branches
there's much thinner air
And things look different when
you're way up there
Now all I want is you to come back down
And start again on level ground

Chorus

E
I went and left you for dead
B            F#
But you just got up again
E
And every fight just
          B         F#
seems to make you stronger
E
I tried to tear this apart
B           C#m
But it was blown
from the start
E      F#
Cause you just had to
G
grab them all and run

            G#m        F#
But from the   highest branches
             B       E
there's much thinner air
G#m            F#
And things are different
             B       E
when you're way up there
G#m       F#
Now all I want is you
    B         E
to come back down
G#m        F#
And start again
           B
on level ground

Chorus

It all went by too fast
Never could react
Once you have fired the shots,
they can't be taken back
