If The House Burns Down Tonight

Written by Mike Elizondo/John Foreman/Tim Foreman

	  		
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 

tabchorus
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 C And let the rest burn G And let the rest burn
tab
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
tabchorus
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 C And if the house burns down tonight C Em I got everything I need when I got you by my side C And let the rest burn Em C G And let the rest burn

tabchorus
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 C And if the house burns down tonight Em I got everything I need when I got you by my side C And let the rest burn
