Staring At The Fire

     C#m        G#m             
I've always had trouble staying 
C#m
still
        A              B          
I stand next to what I hate just 
       C#m
for the thrill
          A                   B   
Spent the first quarter of my life
      E       B      C#m
 on a million dollar bill
          A         B              
'Cause I can't stop staring at the 
E
fire
            C#m           
We got our crosses and our 
  G#m              C#m
buildings, built 'em tall
       A              B           
And my book's another brick inside
     C#m
 the wall
         A                  B     
We sure make ourselves feel busy, 
       E        B      C#m
but we don't do much at all
        A             B            
Except sit around and stare at the 
E
fire
        C#m              G#m      
And the protesters have gathered 
       C#m
in the streets
A           B             C#m
Opposite, a block full of police
         A                  B     
But they both have the same 
       E      B       C#m
problem with God as you and me
               A          B       
It's that they can't stop staring 
       E
at the fire

[Chorus]
         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn
         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn
         E     A     C#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn
         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn


[Verse 2]
           C#m      G#m           
Went to an ashram a million miles 
     C#m
from here
   A            B       C#m
An old man on a blanket appeared
   A                B              
He waved me to come closer, and he 
E         B     C#m
whispered in my ear
             A           B        
"Son, you've got to stop staring 
      E
at the fire"
    C#m        G#m           C#m
But all my ego trips come in flocks
         A         B              
And they tell me, "Kid, it's 
           C#m
really not that hot"
              A            B      
Take your anxiety and your guilt, 
     E        B      C#m
just throw it all on top
      A          B               
Now I can't stop standing in the 
E
fire


[Chorus]
         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn
         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn
         E     A     C#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn
         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn
             E     B     C#m
Oh, watch me burn, burn, burn
         E     B     C#m
Watch me burn, burn, burn
         B     A     C#m
Watch me burn, burn, burn
         C#m   B     E
Watch me burn, burn, burn
