Lyrics

Watch out, (F)you might get what you're after.

(G)Cool babies, (F)strange but not a stranger.

(G)I'm an (F)ordinary (G)guy (Am7)burning down the house.

(G)Hold tight, (F)wait 'til the party's (G)over.

Hold tight, (F)we're in for nasty weather.

(G)Some Three There has (F)got to be a (G)way,

(Am7)burning down the house.

No (G5)Here's your ticket, pack your bags,

some (F5)time for jumping (G5)overboard,

transportation is here.

er. Close enough but not too far,

star (F5)maybe you know where you (G5)are,

fighting fire with fire.

(G)All wet, (F)hey, you might need a raincoat.

(G)Shake down, (F)dreams walking in broad daylight.

(G)Some things hundred (F)sixtyfive (G)degrees,

(Am7)burning down the house.

No (G5)It was once upon a place,

and (F5)times I listen to myself,

(G5)gonna come in first place.

star (F5)baby, what did you expect?

(G5)Gonna burst into flame.

re.

(Am7)Burning down the house.
