Burning Down the House

Chords & Lyrics, etc. · v1

G                G  F
Watch out,       you might get what you're after
G                  G  F
Cool babies,        strange but not a stranger
G         F             G
I'm an ordinary guy
A7                           F
Burning down the house

 

G              G  F
Hold tight,   wait till the party's over
G                G  F
Hold tight,     we're in for nasty weather
G                F               G
There has got to be a way
A7                          F
Burning down the house

 

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

 

G         G  F
All wet,    hey you might need a raincoat
G                  G  F
Shakedown,    dreams walking in broad daylight
G                        F                  G
Three hundred sixty five degrees
A7                            F
Burning down the house

 

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

 

Instrumental Verse.

 

G              G  F
My house     s'out of the ordinary
G                  G  F
That's right,    don't wanna hurt nobody
G                                    F                          G
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
A7                             F
Burning down the house

 

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

 

Jam G F
