Verse:
D MajorD             G/DG/D    D7D7      C/DC/D A minorAm
The house on Auburn Street is burning to the ground,
D MajorD     G/DG/D        D MajorD         G/DG/D
Fire trucks on the lawn and a crowd is gathered round,
G+G       C majorC     Dm7Dm7   E minorEm EMaj7Emaj7
An apparition in a small suburban town,
D MajorD             G/DG/D        D MajorD
The house on Auburn Street is burning to the ground.

D MajorD            G/DG/D   D MajorD     C/DC/D Am7Am7 C majorC
Birthdays and barbecues, come on you sleepy head,
D MajorD                          C/DC/D D7D7 C/DC/D
He watched the evening news while she put us both to bed,
G+G             C majorC    A minorAm   E minor 7Em7 FF C majorC F6F6
Drowsing in our room, and drifting in the dark,
  D MajorD             C/DC/D       D6D6    D MajorD  Edim7/D
In the house on Auburn Street waiting for our lives to start.

D MajorD                     C/DC/D
You were the older one and I never saw you cry,
D MajorD                        C/DC/D D MajorD
Always the bolder one; nothing that you wouldn?t try,
FF            A augmentedA               DmDm Dm7Dm7 E MajorE
I found you on the roof shooting sparks into your veins,
  D MajorD    G6G6  D MajorD C/DC/D       D MajorD
And staring vacantly across the green suburban plains.

      C/DC/D                     D MajorD
There were rescue missions, ultimatums and promises of love,
C/DC/D                     D6D6     D MajorD
They did the best they could, oh but it was never quite enough,
     A minorAm
Oh Oh Oh Oh.

D MajorD                      C/DC/D A minorAm C/DC/D
The sparks are flying now like fireworks in July,
D MajorD                       C/DC/D
The dogs are barking now and the kids are hypnotized,
G+G              C majorC            E minorEm FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
And I should be crying now, but I?m laughing at the joke,
D MajorD             D7D7   C/DC/D      D MajorD
Cause the house on Auburn Street is going up in smoke,
D MajorD      G6G6   D MajorD   C/DC/D   G/DG/D  D MajorD
The house on Auburn Street is going up in smoke.
