Switchfoot - If the house burns down tonight

^GAshes from the ^Cmaj7flames The truth is what re^Gmains The truth is what you ^Dsave from the ^B7fire And you ^Emfight for what you ^Cmaj7love Don’t matter if it ^G/Dhurts You find out what it’s ^Dworth And you let the rest burn^G

The s^Emunset burns like gasoline Touch ^Cme and make sure that I’m not drea^Gming I ^Emsee her face and my heart skips beats But I ^Cstill get the feeling that we’re half asleep ^Gand There’s a ^Emspark in the corner of my baby’s eye Like a ^Cdistant star that won’t burn qui^Get And I ^Emmight not know what I want from this life But I ^Cknow I want more than the starting l^Gine So give me the fire^N.C.; yeah, give me the fire

I can ^Ghear the motor running down the interstate And ^Gall the distractions fade away And if the ^Chouse burns down tonight I got ^Ceverything I need with you by my side I see the ^Gsmoke piling up in the rear view mirror ^GYeah but I ain’t ever seen it any clearer If the ^Chouse burns down tonight I got ^Ceverything I need when I got you by my ^Emside And let the rest ^Cburn And let the rest ^Gburn And let the rest^G burn

I’ve ^Emgiven too much of my heart away My ^Csoul’s holding on like a house divid^Ged Like a ^Emmatch it burns down like a masquerade And I ^Chad to let it go when the fire ignit^Ged One ^Emheart, two ^Chands, your life is all you ^Ghold To ^Emhold, hold ^Ctight and let the bitter ^Ggo Yeah let it ^N.C.go, and give me the fire

The ^Gsmoke tries choking the pacific sun We ^Grocket down the road like we’re shot out of guns And if the ^Chouse burns down tonight I got ^Ceverything I need with you by my side Holding ^Gyou and the wheel and it occurs to me We’re ^Gdriving down the edge of eternity And if the ^Chouse burns down tonight I got ^Ceverything I need when I got you by my s^Emide And let the rest ^D/F#burn ^D And let the rest ^Gburn ^{G G}
