Key: G
[Intro]
G Cmaj7
Ashes from the flames
G
The truth is what remains
D B7
The truth is what you save from the fire
Em Cmaj7
And you fight for what you love
G/D
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
N.C.
So give me the fire; yeah, give me the fire
[Chorus]
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
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
G
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
N.C.
Yeah let it go, and give me the fire
[Chorus]
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

Were draining me dry making a ghost of me
