E7
   This is him
           A         B  A       E7 A B A
   When I,   when I,    I begin

E7                        A     B A
   Call him tied call him taken
E7                       A      B
   Call him anything but shaken
   A        E7
   Call him wasted call him shaved
            A            B      A
   Call him anything but shaved
E7                      A    B A
   Call that firepile a home

         E7
   Don't give away the end
          A
   I come back
                  B  A
   I rush to wait
E7                              A
   Where the pavement starts to crack
                 B    A
   I put my foot down

E7
   The sidewalk's so hot
A                        B A
   The sidewalk's so hot
E7
   Think of all the junk
           A                B   A     E7    A
   I could lay my hands on, purify my heart
        B   A           E7
   That firepile's your home

E7                      A
   Your baby's running faster
             B       A       E7
   Count the times I left my clothes out
                            A
   Count the tires one more time
             B       A       E7      A
   Count the times I let the air out
        B   A           E7   A
   That firepile's your home
              B    A E7
   And you're mine
