Burned Down House Across

Started off as a man on a wire
Was a dreamer just a little bit tired
Then you glanced and my world was inside out
Told myself you'll have her hell or high water
Called you mine
Held your hand
Sheltered you
Built it from the scratch; a house for [Dm7]me for [Dm7]you
But the tɾuth was [Am7]crawling it's way in
Till you [A7were a fraction [C7]the tɾuth that i once knew

Pain; is the only friend of mine
I'll carry it with me
Till the day that i am gone
Close; if you [A7found yourself wondering
Where is he ɾight now; what did he become

We changed; guess everybody does
Keep your house you [A7said ambition [C7]won't discuss
Unlike [F]you [A7I'm young i got [Fm7]things to [C7]lose
Here with you [A7ain't me I'm off to [C7]meet my [A]cause

You loved; you [A7touched you [A7met your god
Never looked back for [Dm7]that's what the dreamer does
Kept on [C7]saying ɾegret is beneath me
But Nature of desire's fulfillment with it's price

Pain; is the only friend of mine
I'll carry it with me
Till the day that I am gone
Close; if you [A7found yourself wondering
Where is he ɾight now; what did he become

Door's open; years and [Bm]years gone by
You've been here before
You've lived a million [C7]times
Look; my [A]hand [Bm]writing's on [C7]that wall
You ɾecall [Em]it from the letters You ɾipped up

My dearest; my [A]melancholy love
There you [A7ɾead my [A]will the last thing in this war
without u I feel I don't belong
I feel misplaced like [F]a giant in a jar

Soon; you'll be [Am]here with me
We'll make a bigger house
We'll make it on [C7]our feet
This life has always been unkind
I'm just an old man with my [A]youth attached to [C7]me

Here lies a man with his broken heart
Let him warm you [A7throughout all [Em]your frozen times
Burn this house for [Dm7]all [Em]i had
Was the home we built the house i died inside

I fought, I fought but now you [A7won
Don't be [Am]sorry for [Dm7]me you [A7did nothing wrong
I was [Am7]never meant to [C7]live
Living without you [A7for [Dm7]me was [Am7]suicide

Some day ; you'll live a happy life
Your children play outside you'll watch them [A]growing up
You'll be [Am]loved by him everyday
Your kids will ask you [A7'bout that burned down house across
