House On Fire

Em
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire


[Verse 1]
Em
Wage war on your preconceptions
Em
Of my exception to come
Em         D            C               D
What you rely on to give purpose to your lifelong dreams
C                    Bm      Em
Of being what you'll never become


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
'Cause you gotta give
Em
More than you've got to give
Em
To watch it all fall


[Chorus]
              C     D        Em
As I watch it fall away from me
Em                    D               Bm
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
          C          D         Em
And all I am turn to all I can be
Em                    D               Bm  Em
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire


[Verse 2]
Em
Fall back on the same excuses
Em
That you've been using for years
Em
The only person that you're holding back's
Em
The only one that needed to hear all along


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
'Cause you gotta give
Em
More than you've got to give
Em
To watch it all fall


[Chorus]
              C     D        Em
As I watch it fall away from me
Em                    D               Bm
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
          C          D         Em
And all I am turn to all I can be
Em                    D               Bm
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
C                     D               Em
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire


[Bridge]
           C     D        Em
I watch it fall away from me
Em                    D               Bm
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire


[Chorus]
              C     D        Em
As I watch it fall away from me
Em                    D               Bm
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire
          C          D         Em
And all I am turn to all I can be
Em                    D               Bm
Like a house on fire, like a house on fire


[Outro]
C
Like a house on fire
C                     Em D
Like a house on fire, oh
C
Like a house on fire
C                     Em
Like a house on fire, oh
