Burning down the house

Written by David Byrne/Chris Frantz/Jerry Harrison/Tina Weymouth

Capo on 2nd fret
	  		(nd) 
 
 
E D E                  D 
    Fighting fire with fire! 
 
E         D       
Watch out you might get what you're after, 
E            D 
cool babies, strange but not a stranger. 
E      D        E    D       A        E      D 
I'm an ordinary guy, burning down the house. 
 
E           D 
Hold tight! Wait till the party's over! 
E           D 
Hold tight! We're in for nasty weather. 
E         D           E    D       A        E 
There has got to be a way, burning down the house. 
 
E                                 D 
Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard, 
E                     D 
the transportation is here. 
E                             D 
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are, 
E                  D 
fightin' fire with fire. 
 
E        D 
All wet, hey you might need a raincoat, 
E          D 
shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight, 
E             D            E      D       A        E 
three hundred sixty five degrees, burning down the house. 
  
E                            D                            
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself, 
E                   D 
gonna come in first place. 
E                            D 
People on their way to work, baby what did you expect, 
E                D 
gonna burst into flame. 
E                  D     E D 
Fightin' fire with fire, 
E                  D     E D       A        E 
fightin' fire with fire,   burning down the house. 
 
E         D 
My house, out of the ordinary 
E             D 
that's right, don't want to hurt nobody. 
E                    D               E     D       A        E 
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet, burning down the house. 
 
E         D 
Watch out you might get what you're after, 
E           D 
cool babies strange but not a stranger, 
E       D        E    D       A        E 
I am an ordinary guy, burning down the house. 
 
     E       D            E      D       A        E 
Threehundred sixty-five degrees, burning down the house. 
                   D                        E 
Fighting fire with fire (fighting fire with fire), 
                 D                          E 
gonna burst into flames (fighting fire with fire) 
                   D                        E 
Fighting fire with fire (fighting fire with fire), 
                 D       E         D 
gonna burst into flames, my house! 
 
   E                            D 
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet, 
E                    D 
Everything's stuck together. 
E                            D 
I don't know what you expect staring into your TV set, 
E                  D     E                D 
fighting fire with fire, burning down the house.
