Ah, watch out, you might get what you're after,
G              F
  Cool babies, strange, but not a stranger,
G             F      G    A                F
I'm an or-di-nar-y guy,  burning down the house!

 Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over,
G            F
 Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather,
G                 F     G    A                F
There has got to be a way, burning down the house!

   Close enough, but not too far, baby, you know where you are,
Bb  G                    F     Bb
     Fighting fire with fire!  Huh!


G         F
 All wet, hey, you might need a raincoat,
G             F
 Shake-down, dreams walking in broad daylight,
G                F               G     A                F
 Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees, burning down the house!

Bb G                      F
    Gonna come in first place,
Bb G                           F
