• Capo on 4th

Key: Em


Verse:
Em                       C
 There’s a fire in this house
            G                              D
And there’s no one left to notice with the breath to put it out
Em                            C
 There’s a weakness in these walls
         G                                 D
And the truth hides in the echoes and the whispers in the halls
       C                Em              D
Saying all we’ve ever known we learned here

Verse:
Em                              C
 There’s a smoke that fills our lungs
        G                               D
And we suffer in the silence wondering why we didn’t run
Em                           C
 Feel the cracks let out the heat
G                          D
Stealing all the oxygen forbidding us to speak
      C                G               D
Still all we’ve ever known we learned here
    C                   Em            D
And all we thought was home will burn here

Chorus:
                  C                     Em
But maybe in the ashes we will find the meaning
                   G                             D
And maybe as they scatter they’ll lead us to the healing
             C                      Em
Waking in a fever the daylight is deceiving
                         G                         D
And darling thought you woke me hard we’d been oversleeping
                     C    Em                   D
Everything thats burning     was everything to us

Verse:
Em                          C
 There’s a fire you tried to hide
          G
But you let it in our home
            D
You tainted everything inside
Em                        C
 Though the mess cannot be seen
           G
I’m still standing in the wreckage
           D
I’m still longing for a piece of
C                G                D
All we’ve ever known and learned here
      C                  Em            D
Cause all we thought was home will burn here

Chorus:
                  C                     Em
But maybe in the ashes we will find the meaning
                   G                             D
And maybe as they scatter they’ll lead us to the healing
             C                      Em
Waking in a fever the daylight is deceiving
                         G                         D
And darling thought you woke me hard we’d been oversleeping

Bridge:
                          C
But I don’t think I’m learning
                      Em
And I don’t think we change
                 G                             D
Now we know that wisdom never really came with age
                C                                  Em
And everytime I think that maybe we could put it out
            G                              D
Everytime I try to fight the fire in this house
                        C*
Well my mind paints a picture, cause my minds never free
N.G#.
My mind shows the things that my eyes weren’t supposed to see

Outro:
Em*                   C*
 There’s a fire in this house
            G*                             D*                    Dsus4*   D*
And there’s no one left to notice with the breath to put it out
