Lyrics

[Intro]
Dm
Who got a match?

[Chorus]
    G
Ooh, watch out
F
 You might get what you're after
G
 Cool, babies
F
 Strange, but not a stranger
G       F        G
 I'm an ordinary guy
A                     F
Burning down the house
G
 Hold tight
F
 Wait 'til the party's over
G
 Hold tight
F
 We're in for nasty weather
G             F               G
 And there has got to be a way
A                     F
Burning down the house

[Verse 1]
      G
Well, here's your ticket, pack your bags
F
Time for jumpin' overboard
G                      F
 Transportation is here
G
Close enough, but not too far
F
Maybe you know where you are
G                     F
 Fightin' fire with fire

[Chorus]
    G
Ooh, all wet
F
 Hey, you might need a raincoat
G
 Shakedown
F
 Dreams walking in broad daylight
G              F           G
 Three hundred sixtyfive degrees
A                     F
Burning down the house

[Verse 2]
G
It was once upon a place
    F
Sometimes I listen to myself
G                         F
 Gonna come in first place
    G
And people on their way to work
     F
Say, Baby, what did you expect?
G                        F  G
 Gonna burst into flames, ah

[Interlude]
F G F G
F
G A                     F
  Burning down the house

[Chorus]
G
 My house
F
 Out of the ordinary
G
 That's right
F
 Don't wanna hurt nobody
G                   F
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet,
G
 ah
A                     F
Burning down the house

[Verse 3]
   G
No visible means of support
    F
And you have not seen nothing yet
G                       F
 Everything's stuck together
       G
Well, I don't know what you expect
    F
Staring into the TV set
G                     F     G
 Fightin' fire with fire, ah

[Bridge]
F G   F G
   Ooh
F G A F

[Outro]
G F G
F   G F
 Ah,   yeah
G A                      F
  Burning down the house, ooh
G F G F
G F
G A                     F
  Burning down the house
