I hope that you will burn down this old house
Am Cadd9 G D/Dsus4
And I hope that you will escape right through the front door

Turn around when you're safe And talk about what they done to you
Am Cadd9 G D/Dsus4
Turn around when you're safe And watch this house burn to the ground

I know you, and you will rise, When you talk about what they done*

Everyday we are closer to fallin away*
Everyday we are closer to fallin away*
