Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 You are the most important person to me

 And I've been watching your light fade

  And I can't seem to say

 Anything without you pointing and yelling at me

 But your house is on fire

  I can see it from the end of the road

 Your house is on fire

  Everybody knows

  Everybody knows

Come on get out from under that heavy, heavy coat

Just admit that it's life and you don't think that you can cope

Cuz there are women from our history

That are living underneath your skin

And they're waiting for you to let go and finally give in

But your house is on fire

I can see it from the end of the road

Your house is on fire

Everybody knows baby

Everybody knows

So ask the help of Jesus ask the help of Allah

No one really cares how many skeletons are in your closet

We will help you open up the windows

Open up your heart flow and let in fresh air

Cuz all I see is smoke rising from your body

As you walk around here you're working the party

Smile on your face dagger in your hand

I'm throwing you a rope my friend

Climb up, climb up here

Onto dry land.

But your house is on fire

I can see it from the end of the road

Your house is on fire

Everybody knows

Everybody knows
