Verse 1 :
Em
The sunset burns like gasoline
CG
Touch me and make sure that I’m not dreaming
Em
I see her face and my heart skips beats
CG
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
CG
Like a distant star that won’t burn quiet
Em
And I might not know what I want from this life
CG
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

I got everything I need when I got you by my side

And let the rest burn
G

Verse 2 :
Em
I’ve given too much of my heart away
CG
My soul’s holding on like a house divided
Em
Like a match it burns down like a masquerade
CG
And I had to let it go when the fire ignited
EmCG
One heart, two hands, your life is all you hold
EmCG
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

Holding you and the wheel and it occurs to me

We’re driving down the edge of eternity

I got everything I need when I got you by my side
