C Em Am Em F Burn it down 'til the embers smoke on the ground C Em Am Em F And start new when your heart is an empty room Am Em F With walls of the deepest blue Home's face, how it ages when you're away And spring blooms, then you find a love that's true But you don't know what now to do Am Em F Cause the chase is all you know and Am Em F C she stopped running months ago Chorus: F C F Am And all you see is where else you could be Em F C when you're at home F C F Am And out on the street are so many possibilities Em F to not be alone The flames and smoke climbed out of every window And disappeared with everything that you held dear But you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need 'Cause you knew you were finally free Chorus: 'Cause all you see is where else you could be when you're at home And out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone And all you see is where else you could be when you're at home And there on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Em  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
