G                  D
   I guess it kinda makes me sad, yeah
       C
That I live in a burning building
G                D            C
   I can't talk anyone into evacuating with me
                  G
Least of all you
                  D
You like burning buildings, you told me
C
   You think the shadows of the flame
G               D
Dancing stories below us look cool
C
You figure someone will save us

[Chorus]
G               D
   I fought wildfires in prison
      Em                     C
But I didn't qualify to be a firefighter when I got out
G            D                             Em
The guy that started the fire said it was accidental
    C
And now he goes to Stanford
G                 D
   Paper burns at 451
          Em                    C
But your record is forever, the state is not forgetful
G                        D
   I know my soul should be on fire
      Em                   C
But I feel so cold when I look at the TV

[Post-Chorus]
C [Hold]
So let's burn it all down

[Interlude]
G D C (x2)

[Verse 2]
G                     D
   I guess it's kinda funny, yeah
       C
That I live in a burning building
G                D
   I didn't even start this fire
        C
Or if I did, I don't remember doing it
G             D
   Now when I look around me
C
All of the surrounding buildings are billowing
G         D                          C
Clouds of smoke, I look at you and I chuckle

When did this happen

[Chorus]
G               D
   I fought wildfires in prison
      Em                     C
But I didn't qualify to be a firefighter when I got out
G            D                             Em
The guy that started the fire said it was accidental
    C
And now he goes to Stanford
G                 D
   Paper burns at 451
          Em                    C
But your record is forever, the state is not forgetful
G                        D
   I know my soul should be on fire
      Em                   C
But I feel so cold when I look at the TV

[Post-Chorus]
C [Hold]
So let's burn it all down

[Bridge]
G        C          Bm   Am Am7 G
The door handle is hot to the touch
G              C              Bm Am  Am7 G
It's like they told me when I was a kid
G                  C                  Bm  Am    G
Have you got your stop, drop, and roll down path
G       C            Bm Am G
I don't know about all of that

[Chorus]
G               D
   I fought wildfires in prison
      Em                     C
But I didn't qualify to be a firefighter when I got out
G            D                             Em
The guy that started the fire said it was accidental
    C
And now he goes to Stanford
G                 D

But your record is forever, the state is not forgetful
G                        D
   I know my soul should be on fire
      Em                   C
But I feel so cold when I look at the TV

[Post-Chorus]
                      G [Hold]
So let's burn it all down
