Chords with lyrics

During the intro and verse, pull and hammer on the D MajorD string for the C majorC and A minorAm chords before transitioning to

Intro: C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  FF  Fsus2Fsus2
    C majorC  G+G  FF  Fsus2Fsus2  FF  Fsus2Fsus2

Verse:
       C majorC          G+G
I thought the candle was gonna go out
  A minorAm            FF    Fsus2Fsus2
The wind was blowing and the door was open
    C majorC         G+G        FF  Fsus2Fsus2  FF  Fsus2Fsus2
But the candle never went out, never went out
  C majorC             G+G
The wave found its way to the shore
 A minorAm             FF    Fsus2Fsus2
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
    C majorC             G+G     FF  Fsus2Fsus2  FF  Fsus2Fsus2
But the wave found its way all the way to the shore

Chorus:
G+G  A minorAm     FF     C majorC
Oooo-oh, I wanna burn this house
G+G  A minorAm      FF       C majorC
 I know, I wanna jump into the fire
G+G  A minorAm       G#G#    A minorAm
Oooo-oh, I've gotta tear them down
  FF        G+G
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

Intro: C majorC  G+G  A minorAm  FF  Fsus2Fsus2
    C majorC  G+G  FF  Fsus2Fsus2  FF  Fsus2Fsus2

      C majorC         G+G
I know the gamble never works twice
    A minorAm                FF    Fsus2Fsus2
All the distractions of the table and the weighted dice
    C majorC           G+G           FF  Fsus2Fsus2  FF Fsus2Fsus2
But the thrill of it feels so nice, you'd do it all again
   C majorC           G+G
But I look to the chips I'd lose
  A minorAm                FF      Fsus2Fsus2
I'm standing on the platform with my neck in the noose
   C majorC        G+G         FF  Fsus2Fsus2  FF  Fsus2Fsus2
And I know it's not my time, it's not my time

Chorus:
G+G  A minorAm     FF     C majorC
Oooo-oh, I gotta burn this house
G+G  A minorAm      FF       C majorC
 I know, I wanna jump into the fire
G+G  A minorAm       G#G#    A minorAm
Oooo-oh, I've gotta tear them down
  FF        G+G     C majorC
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

Bridge:
      A minorAm
And if I do all the things I do
        G+G
While I tell myself that I'm staying true
        FF
No, I'll never stop, you know I'll never stop
          A minorAm
You know I'll never think about it
    A minorAm
Put an end to all this time
       G+G
That I would spend with it on my mind
         FF
You know it never stopped, you know it never stopped
         A minorAm
You know I always wondered about it
 G+G
I wondered about the wonder

Chorus + Outro:
G+G  A minorAm      FF    C majorC
Oooo-oh, I wear a rusting crown
G+G  A minorAm     FF     C majorC
  I know this dynasty is falling
G+G     A minorAm     G#G#   A minorAm
The crowd shouts for another round,

     FF
I see the ruin
  G+G      FF        G+G     FF         G+G
The spectacular diamonds buried, icebergs, the minarets, and the marketplaces
  FF        G+G
The signal fires of my invisible empire
