[Intro]
Bm D A A
Bm D A A
 
 
[Verse]
Bm DLeave the pictures in the frames on the walls
ALeave the ghost of you and me in the halls
Bm D ALeave the TV on in the livin’ room
 
Ah ah ah ah
 
Bm DLet the memories disappear in the smoke
ADeep breath, let ’em Go even if I choke
Bm D AI know I’ll be breathin’ easy soon
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm D AI’m watchin’ the flaaaame Do what it does
Bm D AI’m watchin’ a naaaaame turn into dust
Bm DI’m pourin’ gasoline on a king-size mattress
ALight it up with some dive bar matches
 
Bm A D As hot as it is right now-o-o-o-ow
 
GYou can’t rise from the ashes
D A’Til you burn the house down
 
 
[Verse]
Bm D Looks good from the outside lookin’ in
AFelt more like lyin’, no livin’ it
Bm7 DScared to make a move,
AI’m scared to make a mess
 
Ah ah ah ah
 
Bm7 DYou can’t stitch up this kind of broken heart
AOpen eyes can’t Go back into the dark
Bm7 D A I can’t live a new life with the same address
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm7 D AI’m watchin’ the flaaaame Do what it does
Bm D AI’m watchin’ a naaaaame turn into dust
Bm7 DI’m pourin’ gasoline on a king-size mattress
ALight it up with some dive bar matches
 
Bm A D As hot as it is right now-o-o-o-ow
 
GYou can’t rise from the ashes
D Bm’Til you burn the house down
 
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
D AUntil you burn the house dow-own
Bm7Until you burn the house down
D AUntil you burn the house dow-own
 
 
[Break]
Bm7 Bm D From the ceilin’ to the floor
AFrom the back porch to the front door
Bm7 DLittle bit stronger, little bit older
ANo one tells you how to start over
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm D AI’m watchin’ the flaaaame Do what it does
Bm D AI’m watchin’ a naaaaame turn into dust
Bm DI’m pourin’ gasoline on a king-size mattress
ALight it up with some dive bar matches
 
Bm A D As hot as it is right now
 
GYou can’t rise from the ashes
D A’Til you burn the house down
 
Ah ah ah
 
 
[Outro]
GI can’t rise from the ashes
D’Til I burn the house down
