[Bm]
[F#] [Em] [D]
[F#] [Bm] [F#] [Bm] It's fire in my [F#] [Em] brain and I'm burning [D] up.
Home right,
[F#] [Bm] home right.
[F#] [Bm] Keep running for the [F#] sea, [Em] but the well is dry.
[D] Home right, [F#]
[G] home right.
[F#] [Bm] Every word I say [G] is hidden pain.
But [D] the smoke clears when [F#] you're out.
[Bm] Won't you stay with me, [G] my darling?
[F#] When my walls start burning down, down, [Bm] down.
[F#]
[G] [D] [F#]
[Bm] This house [F#] is my name [Em] like an elegy.
You're [D] mine, [F#]
[Bm] oh mine.
[F#] [Bm] Echoing where [F#] my ghosts [Em] all used to be.
You're [D] mine, [F#]
oh [Bm] mine.
[F#] [Bm] There's little cobwebs in the [G] corners
and [D] the backyard full [F#] of bones.
[Bm] Won't you stay with me, my [G] darling?
When [F#] this house don't feel like home.
When this house don't feel like home.
[Bm] Forever ashes, [G] ashes, dust to dust.
[D] The [F#] devils [Bm] after both [F#] our hearts.
[Bm] Oh, lay my [G] past as a towel to rest.
[D] Make a [G] mercy [F#]
out [Bm] of me.
[F#] [Bm] [F#]
[G] [D] [F#]
[G] [F#] [Bm] This tired [F#] old machine [Em] is a rumbling.
[D] Oh, mine, [F#]
[Bm] oh mine.
[F#] [Bm] Singing songs [C#m] to the secrets [Em] behind my eye.
[D] Oh, mine, [F#]
[Bm] oh mine.
[F#] [Bm] All my hate came down [G] to trembling
[D] and I may yet fall [F#] apart.
[Bm] Won't you stay with me, [G] my darling?
[F#] When the war starts in my heart.
When the war starts in my heart.
[B] Forever [Bm] ashes, [G] ashes, dust to dust.
[D] [F#] The devils [Bm] after both [F#] our hearts.
[Bm] Oh, lay my curse [G] as a towel to rest.
[D] Make a [F#] mercy out [Bm] of me.
[F#] [Bm] Forever ashes, [G] ashes, dust to dust.
[D] Tell [F#] me I [B] am good [F#] enough.
[Bm] Forever curse [G] as a towel to rest.
[D] Make a [F#] mercy out of.
[Bm]
