House On Fire

A  G#      C#m         E
I hope my house burns down
A  G#      C#m     E
I hope my cat gets out
A               G#          C#m      E            A           G#       C#m
The rest of my stuff it can all burn up and I'll never think about it again

A    G#    C#m       E
I'll just go travelling
A     G#   C#m     E
I'll stay with my friends
A                   G#        C#m       E    A      G#    C#m
I'll sleep on their couch and I'll help out around their house

A     E     A    E       A           E                    C#m   A
I'm caged, I'm chained, we're all slaves to the things we own

C#m A C#m A B

A   G#      C#m     E
I hope our gas runs out
A   G#      C#m          E
I hope everything shuts down
A                    G#          C#m       E       A                G#
then I can hear the sounds that used to be around before we started making
      C#m
this noise

A           G#              C#m    E
I'd like to give something else a chance
A            G#       C#m        E
to fill the world up with their trash
A             G#        C#m       E          A      G#    C#m
then we could relax, we could go back to the way we were before

A         E       A          E      A       E                  C#m  A
we lost our souls, we lost our home, we all know, something's wrong

C#m A C#m A B

C#m    A           E            G#
    We know we are owned by our own
C#m          A           E          G#
liberties we know we are helplessly hungry with
C#m       A              E           G#
greed we know it hasn't always been like this
C#m                  A             C#m         A               C#m
and we know, we're a long way from home we can feel it in our bones that
A             B             A            end on C#m
aching secret wish that this would end
