(Verse 1)
B11                D5(6/9)
Drank so much last night
                 A9
I think that I drowned
C7M               F#7(11) F# F#11
But now my cup is empty
B11        D5(6/9)        A9
No one has seen my will around
C7M             F#7(11) F# F#11
Now my heart is aching
B11         D5(6/9)          A9
Sometimes I fall asleep for days
C7M           F#7(11) F# F#11
But my bed is empty
B11        D5(6/9)        A9
I know I'm too set in my ways
C7M              F#7(11) F# F#11
Tell 'em all I'm okay

(Chorus)
B11
So burn it down
G6                        D5(6/9)
Discover the dusk of your day
                  A9  A Asus4 A
Has reached it's dawn
B11
So burn it down
G6                     D5(6/9)
Remember to find a new way
         A9 A
To carry on

(Verse 2)
B11               D5(6/9)
Flew so high last night
                A9
I think that I fell
C7M              F#7(11) F# F#11
To the ground so heavy
B11        D5(6/9)           A9
Woke up to find this living hell
C7M              F#7(11) F# F#11
It used to be so easy
B11             D5(6/9)
Hard to tell my nights
             A9
Now from my days
C7M                  F#7(11)  F# F#11
The curtains hide my feelings
B11          D5(6/9)            A9
Don't feel I have any right to pray
C7M                   F#7(11)
And will they find me someday, oh someday

(Chorus)
B11
So burn it down

Has reached it's dawn
B11
So burn it down
G6                     D5(6/9)
Remember to find a new way
         A9 A Asus4 A
