[Verse 1]
          D             D  C
Ah------,    watch out,        you 
might get what you're after,
D               D  C
    Cool babies,      strange, but 
not a stranger,
D       D   C          D     
    I'm an... ordinary guy,  
E7               C
burning down the house!

[Verse 2]
D               D  C
    Hold tight,        wait 'til the
 party's over,
D               D  C
    Hold tight,        we're in for 
nasty weather,
D         D    C              D 
    There has  ...got to be a 
   E7               C
way, burning down the house!

[Verse 3]
D                                 
Here's your ticket, pack your 
  C
bags, time for jumping overboard,
(F)  D                     C
         Transportation is here,
(F)  D                           
     Close enough, but not too 
   C
far, baby, you know where you are,
(F)  D                      C    
         Fighting fire with fire!
 (F)
  Huh!

[Verse 4]
D            D   C
   All wet,          hey, you might 
need a raincoat,
D                 D   C
   Shake - down,        dreams 
walking in broad daylight,

Burning down the house!

[Verse 5]

No visible means of support, and you
 have not seen nothing yet,

         Everything's stuck to - 
C
gether,

=================================================================

* This is the missing verse that 
David probably meant to sing,
instead of repeating Verse 2...

[Verse 7]
D                                
It was once upon a place, some - 
C
times I listen to myself,
(F)  D                       C
         Gonna come in first place,
(F)  D                            
     People on their way to work, 
C
baby, what did you expect?
(F)  D                    C
         Gonna burst into flame!   
Go ahead!
