House On Fire
View chords used in this chart
A
Drop me off at my car
F#m
I know I'm drunk but it ain't that far
A
Promise that I'll get home safe
F#m
(Can't be talked better it's too late)?
D A
And the people will forgive it tomorrow
F#m G
But I know that you still feel hollow...
A
It's dangerous to love each other with the
F#m
house on fire but I know that we can
A F#m
put up the fire if we try it tonight
(x2)
A
Ending up is harder these days
F#m
And I feel so strange in this place
A
'Cause the mirror on my head
F#m
feels better when you're not upset
D A
And I won't change your notes for truth
F#m G
But there ain't much you can do...
A
It's dangerous to love each other with the
F#m
house on fire but I know that we can
A F#m
put up the fire if we try it tonight
(x2)
