I thought the candle was gonna go out; 
Am                              F  
The wind was blowing and the door was open, 
C                           G   Am         F  
But the candle never went out, never went out. 
C                                G      Am                              F  
The wave found it's way to the shore, I thought it was a ripple and nothing  
More  
C                          G           Am            F         
But the wave found it's way all the way to the shore  
G          Am       F     C    G      Am     F      G             
Oh, I wanna burn this house. I know, I wanna jump into the fire;  
G          Am        F    C    G          Am        F          C   
Oh, I've got to tear them down; the pinnacles of my invisible empire.  
I know the gamble never works twice,  
All the distractions at the table and the weighted dice  
But the thrill of it feels so nice, you?d do it all again  
But I look to the chips and lose,  
I'm standing on the platform with my neck in the noose  
And I know it's not my time, not my time.  
Oh, I wanna burn this house. I know, I wanna jump into the fire;  
Oh, I want to tear them down; the pinnacle of my invisible empire.  
And if I do all the things I do, well I tell myself that I'm staying true  
I?ll never stop, you know I?ll never stop, no I?ll never think about it  
Put an end to all this time, that I would spend with it on my mind  
I never stopped, you know I never stop, you know I always wondered about  
It;  
I wondered about the wonder.  
Oh, I wear a rusting crown; I know this dynasty is falling.  
The crowd shouts for another round; I see the ruin,  
The spectacular, diamonds buried, icebergs, the minarets, and market-places  
And signal fires of my invisible empire.  
Oh, how long? Oh, how long? Oh, how long?
