If the House Burns Down Tonight Switchfoot
Key: G
[Intro]
[G]Ashes from the [Cmaj7]flames
The truth is what re[G]mains
The truth is what you [D]save from the [B7]fire
And you [Em]fight for what you [Cmaj7]love
Don't matter if it [G/D]hurts
You find out what it's [D]worth
And you let the rest burn[G]
[Verse 1]
The s[Em]unset burns like gasoline
Touch [C]me and make sure that I'm not drea[G]ming
I [Em]see her face and my heart skips beats
But I [C]still get the feeling that we're half asleep [G]and
There's a [Em]spark in the corner of my baby's eye
Like a [C]distant star that won't burn qui[G]et
And I [Em]might not know what I want from this life
But I [C]know I want more than the starting l[G]ine
N.C.
So give me the fire; yeah, give me the fire
[Cborus]
I can [G]hear the motor running down the interstate
And [G]all the distractions fade away
And if the [C]house burns down tonight
I got [C]everything I need with you by my side
I see the [G]smoke piling up in the rear view mirror
[G]Yeah but I ain't ever seen it any clearer
If the [C]house burns down tonight
I got [C]everything I need when I got you by my [Em]side
And let the rest [C]burn
And let the rest [G]burn
And let the rest[G] burn
[Verse 2]
I've [Em]given too much of my heart away
My [C]soul's holding on like a house divid[G]ed
Like a [Em]match it burns down like a masquerade
And I [C]had to let it go when the fire ignit[G]ed
One [Em]heart, two [C]hands, your life is all you [G]hold
To [Em]hold, hold [C]tight and let the bitter [G]go
N.C.
Yeah let it go, and give me the fire
[Cborus]
The [G]smoke tries choking the pacific sun
We [G]rocket down the road like we're shot out of guns
And if the [C]house burns down tonight
I got [C]everything I need with you by my side
Holding [G]you and the wheel and it occurs to me
We're [G]driving down the edge of eternity
And if the [C]house burns down tonight
I got [C]everything I need when I got you by my s[Em]ide
And let the rest [D/F#]burn [D]
And let the rest [G]burn[G] [G] [-] [D] [-] [C] [C] [C/G] [-] [D] [-] [G]
[Bridge]
Put your hand in mine and[G] put your heart in [G]dr[-]i [D]- [-]vi[C]ng
We got everything we need yeah[C], we got everything [C/G]we n[-]ee[D]d [-]ye[G]ah
Left it all behind us[G], what we need will [G]fi[-]nd[D] u[-]s[C]
We got everything we need yeah[C], we got everything [C/G]we n[-]ee[D]d [-]ye[Em]ah
Can you hear that motor [D]running, can you hear that motor [C]running
There ain't no stopping us [C]now, there ain't no [C/G]slow[-]in[D]g [-]us[Em] down
Can you hear that motor [D]running
C N.C.
Can you hear that motor run, run, run
[Cborus]
And [G]all those lies that mattered most to me
Were [G]draining me dry making a ghost of me
And if the [C]house burns down tonight
I got [C]everything I need, everything I need
[G]There's a fire coming that we all will go through
You pos[G]sess your possessions or they possess you
And if the [C]house burns down tonight
I got [C]everything I need when I got you by my [Em]side
And let the rest [D/F#]burn[D]
[Outro]
[G]Ashes from the [Cmaj7]flames, the truth is what re[G]mains
