House On Fire

 Am   C   Am   C   Am   C   G

[Verse 1]
                Am
I can see the storms, in her eyes now
                C
I'm falling overboard, in the waves
             Dm
In over my head and she's a high tide
              Fm
That keeps pushing me away
                         Am
I thought that we would build this together
                  G
But everything I touch just seems to break
            Dm
Am I your sail or your anchor?
           Fm                   G
Am I the calm or the hurricane?
           G
I feel the ground start to shake
           Fm
I hear a voice shouting, "No!"
              G         Fm
But there is no fucking way I'd leave you


[Chorus]
               Am             C
So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
     Am             C
You touch me like a razor blade
   Am                 C                G
I wish there was some other way right now
        Am                  C
Like a house on fire we're up in flames
     Am                 C
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
    Am             C              G    Fm
To let you know I won't let go of you


[Verse 2]
             Am
But is the soundtrack to our lives
     G
The bang of a slamming door?
                      Dm
What happens when we all start to feel like
         Fm            G
Nothing matters anymore?
                   Am
Every day like a chambered round
                     G
A trigger pulled, a hammer click
                  Dm
A breath we hold, a world outside I can't control
     Fm          G
No matter what I do


[Chorus]
              Am             C
So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
     Am              C
You touch me like a razor blade
   Am                 C               G
I wish there was some other way right now
        Am                  C
Like a house on fire we're up in flames
     Am                 C
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
    Am             C              G    Fm
To let you know I won't let go of you


[Bridge]
                 Am
And how is it a thing?
                    G
That we just wanna hurt each other
                     Fm
I'm waiting out the rain
                      G
Feels like it's gonna rain forever
                  Am
Someday you will learn
                 G
That all I ever did was for you
                   Fm
And I would do it all again
               G
I would do it all again


[Chorus]
                  Am            C
'Til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade
      Am             C
You touch me like a razor blade
    Am                  C             G
I wish there was some other way right now
         Am                  C
Like a house on fire we're up in flames
      Am                 C
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
    Am              C              G
To let you know I can't let go of you
   Am C   Am C  Am C   Am C   Fm
Of you, of you, of you, of you
