[Intro]
G Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj9

[Verse]
G            Gmaj7
A fire truck goes screaming by
Cmaj7            Cmaj9
And it reminds me of that night
G            Gmaj7
When you said that you were coming home
Cmaj7              Cmaj9
Then I waited up 'til four in the morning
G                   Gmaj7
She says, "I remember, and why the fuck
Cmaj7                  Cmaj9
Would this be a good time to bring that up?"
G               Gmaj7
And I am silent, because I'm not sure
Cmaj7                  Cmaj9                D
Sometimes I feel like I should never speak again
D                             Aadd11             Cmaj9
She takes my hand and says, "C'mon you know this one's my favourite song"

[Interlude]
G Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj9 x2

[Verse]
G                Gmaj7
And I can see it in my mind
Cmaj7                 Cmaj9
Those flames reaching so high
G               Gmaj7
Into the night, and that poor family
Cmaj7           Cmaj9
Standing on the front lawn watching
G                    Gmaj7
And for some reason, I remember that feeling
Cmaj7            Cmaj9
Being almost jealousy
G                    Gmaj7
For a new beginning, but I should have known
Cmaj7              Cmaj9
That I was already burning it to the ground
D                                Aadd11      Cmaj9
But now that I'm dancing in the ashes, I just want it to be whole

[Interlude]
G Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj9 x2

[Verse]
G                Gmaj7
And somehow with all that distraction
Cmaj7              Cmaj9
I still managed to pick a fight
G                  Gmaj7
When she got home, and all she had were questions
Cmaj7                Cmaj9
About those flashing red lights
G                           Gmaj7
And now the song is ending, Judy's leaving
Cmaj7                     Cmaj9
And I'm getting one more right at last call
G                           Gmaj7
Claire orders three shots, Charlie raises his up
Cmaj7                      Cmaj9
And we tip our heads back before we say goodnight
D                             Aadd11      Cmaj9
Now that I'm standing in the ashes I just want it to be whole
D                             Aadd11      Cmaj9
Now that I'm standing in the ashes I can't help but sing along
