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 

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 



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 

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 



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 


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
