House On Fire

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 
The rest of my stuff it can all 
     E            A           G# 
burn up and I'll never think 
      C#m
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#        
I'll sleep on their couch and 
C#m       E    A      G#    C#m
I'll help out around their house

A     E     A    E       A    
I'm caged, I'm chained, we're 
       E                    C#m   A
all slaves to the things we own

A   G#      C#m     E
I hope our gas runs out
A   G#      C#m          E
I hope everything shuts down
A                    G#          
then I can hear the sounds that 
C#m       E       A              
used to be around before we 
  G#
started making
      C#m
this noise

A           G#              C#m  
I'd like to give something else a 
  E
chance
A            G#       C#m   
to fill the world up with their 
     E
trash
A             G#        C#m      
then we could relax, we could go 
 E          A      G#    C#m
back to the way we were before

A         E       A          E 
we lost our souls, we lost our 
     A       E                  
home, we all know, something's 
C#m  A
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      
liberties we know we are 
    G#
helplessly hungry with
C#m       A              E      
greed we know it hasn't always 
     G#
been like this
C#m                  A            
and we know, we're a long way from
 C#m         A               C#m
 home we can feel it in our bones 
that
A             B             A       
     end on C#m
aching secret wish that this would 
end
