House On Fire Chords & Lyrics by Ghost Mice
House On Fire
guitar chords lyrics
This song is on the new (2013) split with Ramshackle Glory
The whole thing uses barre chords, except the low E chord but that's the same structure
as a barre chord.
A G# C#m E
I hope my house burns down
A G# C#m E
I hope my cat gets out
A G# C#m E A G# C#m
The rest of my stuff it can all burn up and I'll never think about it again
A G# C#m E
I'll just go travelling
A G# C#m E
I'll stay with my friends
A G# C#m E A G# C#m
I'll sleep on their couch and I'll help out around their house
A E A E A E C#m A
I'm caged, I'm chained, we're all slaves to the things we own
C#m A C#m A B
A G# C#m E
I hope our gas runs out
A G# C#m E
I hope everything shuts down
A G# C#m E A G#
then I can hear the sounds that used to be around before we started making
C#m
this noise
A G# C#m E
I'd like to give something else a chance
A G# C#m E
to fill the world up with their trash
A G# C#m E A G# C#m
then we could relax, we could go back to the way we were before
A E A E A E C#m A
we lost our souls, we lost our home, we all know, something's wrong
C#m A C#m A B
C#m A E G#
We know we are owned by our own
C#m A E G#
liberties we know we are helplessly hungry with
C#m A E G#
greed we know it hasn't always been like this
C#m A C#m A C#m
and we know, we're a long way from home we can feel it in our bones that
A B A end on C#m
aching secret wish that this would end
