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
