[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
C
It's crowded in the kitchen
F Am
Everyone's trying to speak
G
Everyone's got an opinion
F
Everyone has a belief
C
There's an elephant in every room
F Am
No one's taking out the trash
G
There's a million miles that come between
F C
The front door and the back
[Chorus]
F C
If the world was a house
G
And it was on fire
F C
Would we just put it out
G
Or let it burn higher?
C F
We wouldn't be strangers
Am G
We wouldn't be enemies

We'd run into danger
Am G
I'd save you, you'd save me
C
If the world was a house
[Verse 2]
C
Secrets in the basement
F Am
Closets full of rage
G
This house is leaning right and left
F C
It's never stood up straight
C
On the porch they're praying to Jesus
F Am
Upstairs they read the stars
G
Lookin' for a hammer
G
Lookin' for a nail
F C
To keep from falling apart
[Chorus]
F C
If the world was a house
G
And it was on fire
F C
Would we just put it out
G
Or let it burn higher?
C F
We wouldn't be strangers
Am G
We wouldn't be enemies
C F
We'd run into danger
Am G
I'd save you, you'd save me

If the world was a house
[Chorus]

If the world was a house
