Ladies and gentlemen! Here it is! This took a lot of work. About 6 hours of active listening. I think this
is pretty accurate. Some of it is subjective because it's nearly impossible to hear exactly what is being
played, so take this as a tool and make it what you want it to be! But I did work hard at this and I have a
good ear, so I venture to say it is 99% spot on.
This is the recording straight from her album. I thought about tabbing out the Hank FM live video on youtube
as well but realized it was different enough it would be hell of a project as well. If I get enough requests,
I may embark the endeavor.

Coming soon, I will have a youtube video tutorial for this specific tab as well and I will get a link up for
that.

Chord Chart: This was a little odd writing a chord chard out for since it is all finger picking, and
some chords move so fast, I didn't bother putting them all in. So, again, use this chart to get you going,
and make it however you want it.

Capo 5

Song order: Intro-V1-PC-C-V2-PC-C-B-C

Intro:
Em G/B C
Em C D
Em D Em C
G/B C D

Verse 1:
Em                     G/B     C
I had a dream about a burning house
           Em
You were stuck inside
                    C  D
I couldn't get you out
  Em                     D   G/B    C
I laid beside you and pulled you close
        G/B                   C   D
And the two of us went up in smoke

Pre-Chorus:
C            Em                  G       C
Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong
C                   Em              G          C
I'll stay here with you, until this dream is gone

Chorus:
          G
I've been sleepwalking
      D
Been wandering all night
          Em
Trying to take what's lost and broke and
       G/B  C
Make it right
            G
I've been sleepwalking
D
Too close to the fire
             Em                             G/B   C
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
        C   Em   D
In this burning house

Verse 2:
Em                          G/B       C
See you at a party and you look the same
          Em
I could take you back
                    C    D
But people don't ever change
Em                     D   G/B   C
Wish that we could go back in time
       G/B                           C    D
And I'd be the one you thought you'd find

Bridge:
     G/B                  C
The flames are getting bigger now
         C   Em    D
In this burning house
     G/B               C
I can hold on to you somehow
        C   Em     D
In this burning house
       G/B               C
Oh when I don't want to wake up
        C   Em     D
In this burning house
