Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  wanna be set  apart
Burn all  of your art
 Repair  the wasteful part
 I'm a vampire in a  forest  fire
Hey  we all gotta  keep warm
Hey  we all gotta  keep warm
Driving  towards  the storm
Your  father was a pervert
Face  down  in the dirt
He  taught you how  to hurt
My father was a  miner
 Who lived  in the  suburbs
 Let's live  in the  suburbs
 If I  let where I'm  from burn  I can never  return
My  brother reads you  and me
His new  poetry
How  embarrassing
Your sister pours the gasoline
I'll fix  your meals
I'll fix  your meals
While your  burns heal
/  x2
Find  a house
 You don't have  to rebuild
Stone  by stone brick by brick
Nail  by nail my father  never meant  to leave me this
meant  to leave me this
 Let this  love last
 I drive  too fast
Said  I'd return if I'd ever cared
 But there's  no interstate  I find to take  me there
To  take me there
/  x4
