AmThere's a whisper in my Gchest
It's Dmtelling me
The Fbest is yet to comeAm  
Hiding in the Gnight
DmShadows speak
FTelling me to runAm  
[pre-chorus]
We Ghad our chance, but it's Amover Fnow
We Ggave it all to the lAmost and fDmound
The Chouse is burning
Better Frun for cover
FRun for cover
FRun for cover
AmWheels keep turning
And I'm Fgoing under
FGoing under
CI've already packed my Fpromises
They're Amwaiting Gby the Fdoor
The Chouse is burning
Better Frun for cover

Try to turn Amaway
Got Gtangled in the Dmpast
It's overFgrown
I look up to the Amsky
Try to sGpread my wings
But that Dmbird's already flFown
[pre-chorus]
I'm Greaching out for the hiAmgher Fground
But we gGave it all to the loAmst and foDmund

FRun for cover
AmWheels keep turning
And I'm Fgoing under
FGoing under
CI've already packed my Fpromises
They're Amwaiting Gby the Fdoor
The Chouse is burning
Better Frun for cover
FRun for cover

FWe are dreams of Amfoolish gold
Live Crecklessly with our Dmhearts
FAnd with hands too Amhard to hold
You Cwrapped me into your Dmarms
You Emwrapped me into your Farms
[quietly/one strum]
The Chouse is burning
Better Frun for cover
FRun for cover
FRun for cover
The Chouse is burning
Better Frun for cover
FRun for cover
FRun for cover
AmWheels keep turning
And I'm Fgoing under
FGoing under
EmI've already packed my pFromises
They're Amwaiting Gby the Fdoor
The Chouse is burning

[intro]

Am G Dm F

[verse 1]

Am G

There's a whisper in my chest

It's telling me

F Am

The best is yet to come

Hiding in the night

Shadows speak

F Am

Telling me to run

[pre-chorus]

G Am F

We had our chance, but it's over now

G Am Dm

We gave it all to the lost and found

The house is burning

Better run for cover

Run for cover

Wheels keep turning

And I'm going under

Going under

C F

I've already packed my promises

Am G F

They're waiting by the door

The house is burning

Better run for cover

F C

Run for cover

[verse 2]

Try to turn away

G Dm

Got tangled in the past

It's overgrown

I look up to the sky

Try to spread my wings

Dm F

But that bird's already flown

[pre-chorus]

G Am F

I'm reaching out for the higher ground

G Am Dm

But we gave it all to the lost and found

The house is burning

Better run for cover

Run for cover

Wheels keep turning

And I'm going under

Going under

C F

I've already packed my promises

Am G F

They're waiting by the door

The house is burning

Better run for cover

Run for cover

[bridge]

F Am

We are dreams of foolish gold

C Dm

Live recklessly with our hearts

F Am

And with hands too hard to hold

C Dm

You wrapped me into your arms

Em F

You wrapped me into your arms

[quietly/one strum]

The house is burning

Better run for cover

Run for cover

The house is burning

Better run for cover

Run for cover

Wheels keep turning

And I'm going under

Going under

Em F

I've already packed my promises

Am G F

They're waiting by the door

The house is burning

Better run for cover

Run for cover
