A#m
There's a whisper in my chest
      G#
It's telling me
     D#m           A#m
The best is yet to come
Hiding in the night
G#
Shadows speak
D#m           A#m
Telling me to run

   G#                       A#m   F#
We had our chance, but it's over now
   G#                  A#m      D#m
We gave it all to the lost and found

Chorus:
    C#
The house is burning
       F#
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
A#m
Wheels keep turning
        F#
And I'm going under
Going under
C#/F                      F#
I've already packed my promises
        A#m      G#     F#
They're waiting by the door
     C#/F
The house is burning
       F#
Better run for cover
             C#
Run for cover

Try to turn away
Got tangled in the past
It's overgrown
I look up to the sky
Try to spread my wings
But that bird's already flown

I'm reaching out for the higher ground
But we gave it all to the lost and found

Chorus:
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
Wheels keep turning
And I'm going under
Going under
I've already packed my promises
They're waiting by the door
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover

F#                A#m
We are dreams of foolish gold
     C#                   D#m
Live recklessly with our hearts
F#                 A#m
And with hands too hard to hold
     C#                  D#m
You wrapped me into your arms
     Fm                   F#
You wrapped me into your arms

    C#
The house is burning
       F#
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover

Chorus:
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
Wheels keep turning
And I'm going under
Going under
I've already packed my promises
They're waiting by the door
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
