I re[C]member smelling [G]smoke

And [C]wrapped him in a [G]Carhartt coat
she [D]found out in my [G]ride[Em][D]

[Verse 2]
[C]Next thing I re[G]member
I was [D]barefoot in De[Em]cember
[C]When I hit the doo[G]r again
it [D]really came alive

[D]in a 30 sec[Em]ond not[D]e
I [C]got out with a [G]photograph

[C]Feel a pounding in [G]my chest

[C]How am I to [G]get my rest?
The [D]house I built is [G]burning

[Verse 3]
Well [C]Lorrie called the [G]volunteers
[D]Siren music [Em]to my ears
[C]First I've been gla[G]d to hear
the [D]flashing red and blue
[C]Can't repay the tim[G]e they gave
[D]There was nothing lef[Em]t to sav[D]e
[C]Shake all of their [G]hands and wave
They [D]did all they [G]can do

[D]I'm fearful I'l[G]l confess
[C]How am I to [G]get my rest?
The [D]house I built is [G]burning[Em]
