[Intro]

F D5 Bb5

[Verse]

F        D5                   Bb5
Tell the kid in you that it's okay
F                             D5                    Bb5
You don't have to have it all figured out, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Put the work down till Monday
F           D5                     Bb5
The loudest people have nothing to say
                                       F
Why chime in? They'll just take it the wrong way
             D5                                 Bb5
If there's a pain in your chest, take off your bulletproof vest
              Dm
And let me in

[Chorus]

Dm/F           C5                Bb5
You're burning everything to the ground
     A5
Quit fucking around
F5   D5           C5          Bb5
With gasoline and matches and shit you can't fix
A5
Come down from your crucifix

[Post-chorus]

F D5 Bb5  x2

[Verse]

F                    D5                  Bb5
Contentment's been a cold case you can't close
F                    D5
How you long for it, staring out the window
Bb5                                                 F
On a plane or a train, somewhere far away from home

[Chorus]

Dm/F           C5                Bb5
You're burning everything to the ground
     A5
Quit fucking around
F5   D5           C5          Bb5
With gasoline and matches and shit you can't fix
A5
Come down from your crucifix
Dm/F           C5                Bb5
You're burning everything to the ground
     A5
Quit fucking around
F                 D5 C Bb5
With gasoline and matches
                  A
With gasoline and matches

[Post-chorus]

F D5 Bb5  x2

[Verse]

F                        D5
In your backyard, in the clear
Bb5
Talking up a storm like we needed one here
F          D5                             Bb5
Closest as friends when we were little kids
Can't recreate it, can only imitate it
F                    D5
You talk in the past tense
             Bb5
Like there's nothing worth discussing in the prison of the present
F                         D5                   Bb5
If there's a pain in your chest, take off your bulletproof vest
And let me in.

[Chorus]

Dm/F           C5                Bb5
You're burning everything to the ground
     A5
Quit fucking around
F5   D5           C5          Bb5
With gasoline and matches and shit you can't fix
A5
Come down from your crucifix
Dm/F           C5                Bb5
You're burning everything to the ground
     A5
Quit fucking around
F                 D5 C Bb5
With gasoline and matches
                  A
With gasoline and matches

[Outro]

Dm Bb C  repeat to end

You're burning everything to the ground
Quit fucking around

End on Dm
