[Verse]
 
G           G  F
  Watch out,     you might get what you're after
G      G    G  F
  Cool babies,   strange but not a stranger
G           G  F        G
        I'm an ordinary guy
A7               F
Burning down the house
 
 
[Verse]
 
G             G  F
  Hold tight,      wait till the party's over
G      G     G  F
  Hold tight,    we're in for nasty weather
G          G   F           G
     There has got to be a way
A7               F
Burning down the house
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                  F
Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
G                      F
The transportation is here
G                              F
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
G                    F
Fightin' fire with fire
 
 
[Verse]
 
G         G  F
  All wet,     hey you might need a raincoat
G      G   G  F
  Shakedown,    dreams walking in broad daylight
G          G    F            G
  Three hundred sixty five degrees
A7               F
Burning down the house
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                         F
It was once upon a place, sometimes I listen to myself
G                   F
Gonna come in first place
G                            F
People on their way to work, baby what did you expect
G                F
Gonna burst into flame
 
 
[Interlude]
 
A7               F
Burning down the house
 
 
[Verse]
 
G          G  F
  My house      s'out of the ordinary
G        G    G  F
  That's right,    don't wanna hurt nobody
G                G   F               G
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
A7               F
Burning down the house
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                               F
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
G                  F
Everything's stuck together
G                             F
I don't know what you expect, staring into the TV set
G                  F
Fighting fire with fire
