Dbm
It's in the grain of the wood
It's in the needle's rust
Cb
It's in the eagle's claw
Dbm
It's in the eyes you trust
It's in the jackal's dreams
It's in the sleet and the hail
Cb
It's in the unmarked box
Dbm
That came today in the mail
It's in the dead man's pocket
It's in the child's first sin
Cb
It's in the Constitution
Dbm
Written in very small print
It's in Colin Powell's lies
It's in the shaman's trance
Cb
It's in the cellar waiting
Dbm
And it's in the best laid plans

Cb
We could cut and run
     Dbm
And take half the blame
Cb                                 \
Don't stop now
              Gb                    | Chorus
That's why we came
(whispered with no guitar)         /
House gone up in flames
(main riff)

Dbm
It's in the National Anthem
It's in the scurrying roach
Cb
It's in the closed partition
Dbm
'Tween first class and coach
It's in the relentless fever
It's in the lonely room
Cb
It's in the hands of fate
Dbm
And it's in the pharaoh's tomb
It's in the rich man's dreams
It's in the poor man's hands
Cb
It's in the body bags
Dbm
Along the Rio Grande
It's in the evening shade
It's on the zealot's tongue
Cb
It's in the widow's tears
Dbm
And it's in the miner's lungs

(same as before, only the final line is said with fire)
We could cut and run
And take half the blame
Don't stop now
That's why we came
House gone up in flames
(Main Riff)

Bridge

Dbm
It's in the moon's dark spin
It's in the cloudless sky
Cb
It was in St. Peter's denial
Dbm
That he'd thrice deny
It's in the distant thunder
It's in the whispered prayer
Cb
That they won't find us hidden here
Dbm
Beneath the stairs
So consider yourself lucky
And watch what you say
Cb
I got what I wanted
Dbm
You might get the samea
It's in the bold print nailed
To the cathedral door
Cbm
It's in the black cold pressure
Db
On the ocean floor

(same Chords as before)
We could cut and run
And take half the blame
Don't stop now
That's why we came
House gone up in flames

Main Riff
