[Intro] Bm D A A Bm D A A [Verse] Bm D Leave the pictures in the frames on the walls A Leave the ghost of you and me in the halls Bm D Leave the TV on in the A livin’ room Ah ah ah ah Bm D Let the memories disappear in the smoke A Deep breath, let ’em go even if I choke Bm D I know I’ll be breathin’ A easy soon
[Chorus] Bm D I’m watchin’ the flaaaame A do what it does Bm D I’m watchin’ a naaaaame A turn into dust Bm I’m pourin’ gasoline on D a king-size mattress A Light it up with some dive bar matches Bm A As hot as it is right D now-o-o-o-ow G You can’t rise from the ashes D A ’Til you burn the house down [Verse] Bm D Looks good from the outside lookin’ in A Felt more like lyin’, no livin’ it Bm7 D Scared to make a move, A I’m scared to make a mess Ah ah ah ah
