Chords for Switchfoot - If The House Burns Down Tonight [Official Audio]

[N] _ Ashes from the [C] flames, the truth is what [G] remains
The [D] truth is what you save from the [Em] fire and you [B] fight for [G] what you [C] love
Don't matter if [G] it hurts, you find [D] out what it's worth
And [G] you let the _ rest burn
Those _ _ _ _ embers [Am] like gasoline touch me and make sure [G] that I'm not steaming
See _ _ _ her [D] face and my heart skips beats but I still get the feeling [G] that we're half-deceiving
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] There's a spark in the corner of my [C] baby's eye like a distant star that won't burn quiet
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Yeah, I might not know what I want from this life but [C] I know I want more than the starting line
_ So give me the [G] fire, _ yeah give me the fire
I can hear the motor running down the interstate and all the distractions fade [C] away
And if the house burns down tonight, I got everything I need with you by my [G] side
I see the smoke piling up in the rearview mirror, yeah but I've never seen it any [C] clearer
If the house burns down tonight, I got everything I need when I got you by my [G] side
Let the rest [C] burn, _ [G] let the rest burn, let the rest burn
_ [Em]
I've given too much of my [A] heart away, my soul is holding on like a [G] house divided
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Like a match, it burns down like a [C] masquerade and I'd better let it go than the fire [G]
ignited
_ _ _ _ _ One [Em] heart, _ two [C] hands, your life is _
[G] _ _ all you own
_ Too [Em] hard, _ _ _ [C] get a lighter _
[G] _ _ _ _ and give me the fire
The smoke tries to choke in the Pacific sun, we'll rock it down the road like we shot out of guns
[C] And if the house burns down tonight, I got everything I need with you by my side
[G] Holding you in a wheel, it occurs to me we're driving down the edge of eternity
[C] And if the house burns down tonight, I got everything I need when I got you by [Em] my side
Let [D] the rest burn, let [G] the rest burn
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Put your hand in mine, put your heart [C] in mine
We got everything we need, yeah, we got everything we [G] need, yeah
Left it all behind us, what we need to [C] find us
We got everything we need, yeah, we got [G] everything we [Em] need, yeah
Can you hear that motor [D] running?
[G] Can you hear that motor?
[C] _
There ain't no stopping us now, there ain't no slowing [Em] us down
Can you hear that motor [D] running?
[G] Can you hear that motor?
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] And all those lies are not a moan to me, we're chained in the yard like in a ghost of me
And [C] if the house burns down tonight, I got everything I need, everything I need, yeah
And the fire coming [G] that we all go through, you possess your possessions and they [C] possess you
And if the house burns down tonight, I got everything I need when I got you by [Em] my side
And let the [G] rest burn _ _ _
Ashes from [C] the flames, the truth is what remains _ _ _ _ _ _ _
