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
G
So give me the fire, yea give me the fire
G
I can hear the motor running down the interstate

And all the distractions fade away

And if the house burns down tonight

I got everything I need with you by my side

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
Em G
Yeah let it go, and give me the fire
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

We're driving down the edge of eternity

And if the house burns down tonight

And let the rest burn
