Bbm C#
Down the street the dogs are barking
G# F#
They're calling home the night
Bbm C#
Where some hearts will get broken
G# F#
and some will come to life
C# G#
On and on and on we ride this wave
Fm
til it all gets set alive
Bbm C# F#m
Bbm C#
Outside the world is changing
G# F#
though you never see the wheel in spin
Bbm C#
All the things you come to know and like
G# F#
will pass into the wind
C# G#
On and on and on we turn like tops
Fm
til it all gets set alive
F# G# C#
I know the house is burning down
F# G# Fm
but I still can't seem to leave it
Bbm C# F#m
Bbm C#
Before the void it takes us
G# F#
and the conversations run
Bbm C#
We tie up this string that binds us
G# F#
and makes many rivers one
C# G#
on and on we'll go sleepwalking
Fm
through all the damage done
F# G# C#
I know the house is burning down
F# G# Fm
But I still can't seem to leave
F# G# C#
I know the house is burning down
F# G# Fm
But I still can't seem to leave
