[VERSE 1]
AmI start out with blue prints and Cbuilding blocks
I Gstack them up so high you can't Fsee the topE  
I Amcalculate the best ways to Cmake it fall
BeGfore I swing the Emwrecking ball
[CHORUS]
AI can't help but Dmbreak it down
I've got a Gheart that's full of Cmushroom clouds
When it's Fself-desCtrucEtin
ALike I'm wired Dmto delete
AnyGthing that might be Cgood for me
Til I'm Fleft with CnothiEng
Cause I pushed the buttonAm  E  
[VERSE 2]
I Amcount to three
Then watch the whole Cthing collapse
Oh GI can't wait to start aFgain from scratchE  
AmBut every time I get to the Cfinal piece
Oh GI start disasEmsembEling
[CHORUS]
AI can't help but Dmbreak it down
I've got a Gheart that's full of Cmushroom clouds
When it's Fself-desCtructEin
ALike I'm wired Dmto delete
AnyGthing that might be Cgood for me
Til I'm Fleft with CnothEing
Cause I pushed the buttonAm  E  
[BRIDGE]
But Amsoon I'll fAind the Dmway
To build up something Gbeautiful that Cstays
Cause deep down I know That FI 
Ddetach the Gmoment Ethat
I Athrow the Dmswitch
CAlight the Ematch
[CHORUS]
AI can't help but Dmbreak it down
I've got a Gheart that's full of Cmushroom clouds
When it's Fself-desCtructEin
ALike I'm wired Dmto delete
AnyGthing that might be Cgood for me
Til I'm Fleft with CnothEing
Cause I pushed the buttonAm  E

AmThis could be the last time that CI undo
The Gstanding bridge that's taking me Fstraight to you

[VERSE 1]

Am C

I start out with blue prints and building blocks

G F E

I stack them up so high you can't see the top

Am C

I calculate the best ways to make it fall

G Em

Before I swing the wrecking ball

[CHORUS]

A Dm

I can't help but break it down

G C

I've got a heart that's full of mushroom clouds

F C E

When it's self-destructin

A Dm

Like I'm wired to delete

G C

Anything that might be good for me

F C E

Til I'm left with nothing

Am E

Cause I pushed the button

[VERSE 2]

I count to three

Then watch the whole thing collapse

G F E

Oh I can't wait to start again from scratch

Am C

But every time I get to the final piece

G Em E

Oh I start disassembling

[CHORUS]

A Dm

I can't help but break it down

G C

I've got a heart that's full of mushroom clouds

F C E

When it's self-destructin

A Dm

Like I'm wired to delete

G C

Anything that might be good for me

F C E

Til I'm left with nothing

Am E

Cause I pushed the button

[BRIDGE]

Am A Dm

But soon I'll find the way

G C

To build up something beautiful that stays

Cause deep down I know That I

D G E

detach the moment that

A Dm

I throw the switch

C E

Alight the match

[CHORUS]

A Dm

I can't help but break it down

G C

I've got a heart that's full of mushroom clouds

F C E

When it's self-destructin

A Dm

Like I'm wired to delete

G C

Anything that might be good for me

F C E

Til I'm left with nothing

Am E

Cause I pushed the button

[OUTRO]

Am C

This could be the last time that I undo

G F

The standing bridge that's taking me straight to you
