Everything I Build - The Stills
3/4  Am-  G   Am  Am  
AmThe tide is high
I've Gnever been so lowAm  
You got rooCm to growE  
You can never look up
You can't ever look down
You get kicked around
chorus:
But I built Cit with sandG  
and I built it Cwith rockE  
I builCt it with all of Gthe 
tChings that I'm notAm  
And I watch Cfrom the hillG  
as it burns Cto the groundE  
           	                    C   G-
I can still see the smoke
from my train out of townAm  
4/4		   Am  	     C  	         G  Am  
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down
verse:
I close my eyes
Scared of what I saw
Are you man at all?
Been an open book
Been a slammed door
Apple of the trojan war
chorus in 6/8
4/4		   Am  	     C  	         G  Am  
Everything I build is breaking down
Everything I build is breaking down
3/4 C  
Drink a little bit
Gthat's a little bit
CTake a chance
or loEse it all
CI have no remorse 
Gno regrets
Cwhen I'm hanging from 
the seEventeenth floor
4/4 Am  
The tide is high
I'Gve nAmever been so low
You got CroEom to grow
AmEverythCing I bGuild is breAmaking down
Everything I build is breaking 
Everything I build is breaking down
