[Intro]
Cm G B B
Cm G B B
 
 
[Verse]
Cm GLeave the pictures in the frames on the walls
BLeave the ghost of you and me in the halls
Cm G BLeave the TV on in the livin’ room
 
Ah ah ah ah
 
Cm GLet the memories disappear in the smoke
BDeep breath, let ’em Go even if I choke
Cm G BI know I’ll be breathin’ easy soon
 
 
[Chorus]
Cm G BI’m watchin’ the flaaaame Do what it does
Cm G BI’m watchin’ a naaaaame turn into dust
Cm GI’m pourin’ gasoline on a king-size mattress
BLight it up with some dive bar matches
 
Cm B G As hot as it is right now-o-o-o-ow
 
GYou can’t rise from the ashes
G B’Til you burn the house down
 
 
[Verse]
Cm G Looks good from the outside lookin’ in
BFelt more like lyin’, no livin’ it
Cm7 GScared to make a move,
BI’m scared to make a mess
 
Ah ah ah ah
 
Cm7 GYou can’t stitch up this kind of broken heart
BOpen eyes can’t Go back into the dark
Cm7 G B I can’t live a new life with the same address
 
 
[Chorus]
Cm7 G BI’m watchin’ the flaaaame Do what it does
Cm G BI’m watchin’ a naaaaame turn into dust
Cm7 GI’m pourin’ gasoline on a king-size mattress
BLight it up with some dive bar matches
 
Cm B G As hot as it is right now-o-o-o-ow
 
GYou can’t rise from the ashes
G Cm’Til you burn the house down
 
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
G BUntil you burn the house dow-own
Cm7Until you burn the house down
G BUntil you burn the house dow-own
 
 
[Break]
Cm7 Cm G From the ceilin’ to the floor
BFrom the back porch to the front door
Cm7 GLittle bit stronger, little bit older
BNo one tells you how to start over
 
 
[Chorus]
Cm G BI’m watchin’ the flaaaame Do what it does
Cm G BI’m watchin’ a naaaaame turn into dust
Cm GI’m pourin’ gasoline on a king-size mattress
BLight it up with some dive bar matches
 
Cm B G As hot as it is right now
 
GYou can’t rise from the ashes
G B’Til you burn the house down
 
Ah ah ah
 
 
[Outro]
GI can’t rise from the ashes
G’Til I burn the house down
