[Verse 2]
Em D C G Next thing I remember D Em I was barefoot in December C G D When I hit the door again it really came alive C G D Em That was all she wrote in a 30 second note C G D G I got out with a photograph and my old auto 5
[Chorus]
C G Lord knows that I've been blessed D G I can stand up to the test C G I can live on so much less D Em D This much I've been learning C G Feel a pounding in my chest D G I'm fearful I'll confess C G How am I to get my rest? D G The house I built is burning

C G Well Lorrie called the volunteers D Em Siren music to my ears C G D First I've been glad to hear the flashing red and blue C G Can't repay the time they gave D Em There was nothing left to save C G Shake all of their hands and waved D G They did all they could do
[Chorus]
C G Lord knows that I've been blessed D G I can stand up to the test C G I can live on so much less D Em D This much I've been learning C G Forgive my cowardice D G I'm fearful I'll confess C G How am I to get my rest? D G The house I built is burning
