If the House Burns Down Tonight

[Intro]
Em C
Ashes from the flames
G
The truth is what remains
D
The truth is what you save
From the fire
Em C
And you fight for what you love
G
Don't matter if it hurts
D
You find out what it's worth
G
And you let the rest burn

[Verse 1]
Em
The sunset burns like gasoline
C G
Touch me and make sure that I'm not dreaming
Em
I see her face and my heart skips beats
C G
But I still get the feeling that we're half asleep and
Em
There's a spark in the corner of my baby's eye
C G
Like a distant star that won't burn quiet
Em
And I might not know what I want from this life
C G
But I know I want more than the starting line
G
So give me the fire, yea give me the fire

[Chorus 1]
G
I can hear the motor running down the interstate
G
And all the distractions fade away
C
And if the house burns down tonight
C
I got everything I need with you by my side
G
I see the smoke piling up in the rear view mirror
G
Yeah but I ain't ever seen it any clearer
C
And if the house burns down tonight
C Em
I got everything I need when I got you by my side
Em
And let the rest burn

[Próxima Parte]
C
And let the rest burn
G
And let the rest burn

[Verse 2]
Em
I've given too much of my heart away
C G
My soul’s holding on like a house divided
Em
Like a match it burns down like a masquerade
C G
And I had to let it go when the fire ignited
Em C G
One heart, two hands, your life is all you hold
Em C G
To hold, hold tight and let the bitter go
Em G
Yeah let it go, and give me the fire

[Chorus 2]
G
The smoke tries choking the pacific sun
G
We rocket down the road like we're shot out of guns
C
And if the house burns down tonight
C
I got everything I need with you by my side
G
Holding you and the wheel and it occurs to me
G
We're driving down the edge of eternity

[Próxima Parte]
Em C G
And let the rest burn

[Bridge]
G
, Em , C , G , G , Em , C , G ,
G
Put your hand in mine and
Em C G
Put your heart in driving
G
We got everything we need yeah
Em C G
We got everything we need yeah
G
Left it all behind us
Em C G
What we need will find us
G
We got everything we need yeah
Em C G
We got everything we need yeah
G
Can you hear that motor running
Em C G
Can you hear that motor running
G
There ain’t no stopping us now
Em C G
There ain’t no slowing us down
G
Can you hear that motor running
Em C
Can you hear that motor run, run, run

[Chorus 3]
G
And all those lies that mattered most to me
G
Were draining me dry making a ghost of me
C
And if the house burns down tonight
C
I got everything I need, everything I need
G
There’s a fire coming that we all will go through
G
You possess your possessions or they possess you

[Outro]
Em C G
Ashes from the flames, the truth is what remains
