[Intro]
G Cmaj7 Ashes from the flames G The truth is what remains D B7 The truth is what you save from the fire Em Cmaj7 And you fight for what you love G/D Don’t matter if it hurts D You find out what it’s worth G And you let the rest burn
[Verse 1]
Em The sunset burns like gasoline C G Touch me and make sure that I’m not dreaming Em I see her face and my heart skips beats C G But I still get the feeling that we’re half asleep and Em There’s a spark in the corner of my baby’s eye C G Like a distant star that won’t burn quiet Em And I might not know what I want from this life C G But I know I want more than the starting line
N.C.
So give me the fire; yeah, give me the fire
[Chorus]
G I can hear the motor running down the interstate G And all the distractions fade away C And if the house burns down tonight C I got everything I need with you by my side G I see the smoke piling up in the rear view mirror G Yeah but I ain’t ever seen it any clearer C If the house burns down tonight C Em I got everything I need when I got you by my side C And let the rest burn G And let the rest burn G And let the rest burn
[Verse 2]
Em I’ve given too much of my heart away C G My soul’s holding on like a house divided Em Like a match it burns down like a masquerade C G And I had to let it go when the fire ignited Em C G One heart, two hands, your life is all you hold Em C G To hold, hold tight and let the bitter go
N.C.
Yeah let it go, and give me the fire
[Chorus]
G The smoke tries choking the pacific sun G We rocket down the road like we’re shot out of guns C And if the house burns down tonight C I got everything I need with you by my side G Holding you and the wheel and it occurs to me G We’re driving down the edge of eternity C And if the house burns down tonight C Em I got everything I need when I got you by my side D/F# D And let the rest burn G G G - D - C C C/G - D - G And let the rest burn
[Bridge]
G G - D - C Put your hand in mine and put your heart in dri - ving C C/G - D - G We got everything we need yeah, we got everything we need yeah G G - D - C Left it all behind us, what we need will find us C C/G - D - Em We got everything we need yeah, we got everything we need yeah D C Can you hear that motor running, can you hear that motor running C C/G - D - Em There ain’t no stopping us now, there ain’t no slowing us down D Can you hear that motor running
C N.C.
Can you hear that motor run, run, run
[Chorus]
G And all those lies that mattered most to me G Were draining me dry making a ghost of me C And if the house burns down tonight C I got everything I need, everything I need G There’s a fire coming that we all will go through G You possess your possessions or they possess you C And if the house burns down tonight C Em I got everything I need when I got you by my side D/F# D And let the rest burn
[Outro]
G Cmaj7 G Ashes from the flames, the truth is what remains
