Riff
High E - 3-3-2-0


D                  G
i will praise your eyes
D                   G     riff
for burning my house down
D                  G               D                     A
i am humbled by how they made the framework fall to the ground
D                        G       riff
i stood with you and watched you
D                       G
as you made it burn and fall
D                       G            D                   A
in minutes it was almost like it had never been there at all


when the traffic on the street thins out for just a second
i will look into your eyes
i, i will not panic
i am standing on the corner
where you and i were standing
i am trying to look at the sky
there are too many colors surrounding me

i will praise your eyes
they have reduced this city to embers
i will see you coming
i will see your eyes through the cold air from a mile away
