Intro: Am Asus2 Asus4 Am Asus2  (x4) 

 
Am 
I'm chasing down an arsonist 
C/B          C 
Instead of putting out flames 
               G    Em 
So they went higher 
                    Am 
Now my house is on fire 
 

 
Am 
I climbed a mountain 
                      C/B 
To see what could be found 
        C                   G            Em 
Turned out was nothing but down about a mile 
                       Am 
Could see my house on fire 
 

 
Fmaj7        C      C/B 
I cut the dose in half 
          Am         Em 
But I've never been good at math 
   Fmaj7       C      C/B 
Now I feel twice as much 
     Am        Em 
And still not nearly enough 
    C  C/B   G 
To ease my desire 
                Am 
My house is on fire 
 

Interlude

Am                                       C/B  
I stop at green lights you speed through red 
            C 
Should've listened to what ten people said 
        G               Em 
It was all on the wire 
                 Am 
My house was on fire 
 

 
Am                                C/B   
You grew up in the snow me in the sun 
        C 
Don't know where but we both had to run 
             G         Em 
We wouldn't dare tire 
                    Am 
With our houses on fire 
 

 
Fmaj7        C      C/B 
I cut the dose in half 
          Am         Em 
But I've never been good at math 
   Fmaj7       C      C/B 
Now I feel twice as much 
     Am        Em 
And still not nearly enough 
    C  C/B   G 
To ease my desire 
                Am 
My house is on fire 
 

 
C  G            Am      C/B 
Deal with the darkness 
             C  G            Am 
Don't make a deal with the darkness 
C  G            Am      C/B 
Deal with the darkness 
             C  G            Am 
Don't make a deal with the darkness 
 

 
Am                   C/B 
You ask if I'm doing okay 
           C 
I'm at a loss for what to say 
                G        Em 
But since you enquired 
                Am 
My house is on fire 
 

 
Am                                       C/B   
God shook while Mary wept the cross was built 
        C 
While apostles slept 
            G        Em 
They had conspired 
                  Am 
The house was on fire 
 

 
Fmaj7        C      C/B 
I cut the dose in half 
          Am         Em 
But I've never been good at math 
   Fmaj7       C      C/B 
Now I feel twice as much 
     Am        Em 
And still not nearly enough 
    C  C/B   G 
To ease my desire 
    C  C/B   G 
To ease my desire 
    C  C/B   G 
To ease my desire 
                Am 
My house is on fire
