                 Am
I broke another glass
        Dm7            Gm
In the house we never built
                     Am
The winter's always cold enough
Dm7             Gm
Cold enough to kill

              Am
Just a little jasmine
               A#         Gm
Just a little salt in my wounds
                  Am
What happens if I tell you,
To tell the truth?

Chorus:
             A#
Tell me you love her
Dm7          C
And I'll be gone
             A#
Tell me you love her
        Dm7              C
And my heart was simply wrong
             Am
Just say the words and I'll turn around
         D#             Gm
I'll be gone without a sound
    Dm7 C F      A#
And burn  this house to the ground

It's like I never left
The house we never built
I broke another mirror
Now there's 21 years left

Just a little bad luck
Just a little salt in my wounds
Break it to me gently, gently

Chorus


      Dm7 C F A#   Gm
I'll burn      it down
                     Am
Feel the heat on my face
                  A#
See it go up in flames
         Dm7 C F A#   Gm
Oh, I'll burn     it down
                   Am
Burn it into the ground

Chorus
