Everything's On Fire

• E

Tabbed by James Greig 
  
Pretty simple this one. Sounds good with a bit of distortion. 
  
Intro/Verse riff 
This riff is the main riff through the whole song.

On the 'Living in large rooms and lounges" version there is also this little fill at the start.  
Other than that the two versions are identical, except the original is noticeably faster.

Chorus 
The first two chords are strummed and let ring but it is a bit sparse so you can strum them as  
well.

Lyrics 
  
If I don't come home before midnight 
And I call out your name in the dark 
You'll know that I've been tempted 
And I'll know that I've got no heart 
And I'll know I won't be expected 
And you'll think we're drifting apart 
And I might as well be blowing at the top of the world 
When my fingers find your body in the dark 
Everything's on fire 
Everything's on fire 
So if I don't come home before midnight 
And I can't find the keyhole in the dark 
Burn the place down, make it glow like Christmas 
The tenderness that's burning in my heart 
Everything's on fire 
Everything's on fire 
{repeat} 
If you can't open your eyes in the morning 
If some maniac has been and left his mark 
I'll be round to sift through the cinders 
Lift the lid and take the thing apart 
Everything's on fire 
Everything's on fire 
{repeat} 
So to all you feelers and fumblers 
Waiting for the fireworks to start 
Do it now-blow it up yourself 
Unbutton the butcher in your heart. 
And if I don't come home before midnight 
And I can't find the keyhole in the dark 
You'll know, you'll know that I've been tempted 
You'll know, you'll know we're drifting apart. 
Everything's on fire 
Everything's on fire
