House On Fire Lyrics & Chords By Melissa Ferrick

You are the most important person to me
But 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, every body knows

So come on take off that heavy, heavy...heavy coat
And just admit that its your life and you dont feel like you can cope
'Cuz there are woman from our history who are living underneath your skin
And the've been 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, everybody knows - yeah...your house is on fire, is on fire

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 now and let in fresh air
'Cuz all I see is smoke rising from your body
As you walk around here, you're working this party
with a smile on your face and a dagger in your hand
I'm throwing you a rope my friend
climb up, climb up, climb up here on 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, every body knows
