Gretchen Peters - The house on auburn street

^DThe house on Auburn Street ^G/Dis burning ^D7to the ground,^{C/D Am D}Fire trucks^G/D on the lawn and a ^Dcrowd is gathered ^G/Dround, ^GAn apparition ^Cin a small ^Dm7suburban ^Emtown^Emaj7, ^DThe house on Auburn Street ^G/Dis burning to the ^Dground.

^DBirthdays and barbecues, ^G/Dcome on ^Dyou sleepy ^C/Dhead^Am7, ^{C D}He watched the evening news while she put us both to ^C/Dbed,^{D7 C/D G}Drowsing in our room, and ^Cdrifting ^Amin the ^Em7dark,^{F C F6} In ^Dthe house on Auburn Street ^C/Dwaiting for our ^D6lives to ^Dstart^Edim7/D.

^DYou were the older one and I never saw you ^C/Dcry, ^DAlways the bolder one; nothing that you wouldn?t ^C/Dtry,^{D F}I found you on the roof ^Ashooting sparks into your veins^Dm, ^{Dm7 E} And ^Dstaring ^G6vacant^Dly ^C/Dacross the green ^Dsuburban plains.

There were ^C/Drescue missions, ultimatums and promises of ^Dlove, ^C/DThey did the best they could, oh but it was ^D6never quite ^Denough, Oh Oh Oh ^AmOh.

^DThe sparks are flying now like fireworks in ^C/DJuly,^{Am C/D D}The dogs are barking now and the kids are hypn^C/Dotized, ^GAnd I should be crying now, ^Cbut I?m laughing at the ^Emjoke^F, ^{Fmaj7 D}Cause the house on Auburn ^D7Street ^C/Dis going up in ^Dsmoke, ^DThe house on ^G6Auburn ^DStreet ^C/Dis going^G/D up in ^Dsmoke.
