INTRO

F#  E

F#                   E
Fighting fire with fire


F#        E
Watch out   you might get what you're after
F#          E
Cool babies  strange but not a stranger
F#     E           F#
I'm an ord-in-ar-y guy
Ab               E
Burning down the house


F#         E
Hold tight   wait till the party's over
F#         E 
Hold tight   we're in for nasty weather
F#        E               F#
There has got  to  be  a  way
Ab               E
Burning down the house


F#                                E    
Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
F#                     E
The transportation is here
F#                            E
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
F#                  E
Fightin' fire with fire


F#      E
All wet   hey you might need a raincoat
F#         E
Shakedown    dreams walking in broad daylight
F#             E              F#
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Ab               E
Burning down the house


F#                           E    
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
F#                   E    
Gonna come in first place
F#                          E    
People on their way to work baby what did you except
F#                E    
Gonna burst into flame


F#                   E
Fighting fire with fire
F#                   E
Fighting fire with fire
Ab              E
Burning down the house


F#       E
My house  out of the ordinary
F#          E
That's right  Don't want to hurt nobody
F#                    E              F# 
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Ab              E
Burning down the house


F#        E
Watch out   you might get what you're after
F#          E
Cool babies  strange but not a stranger
F#     E           F#
I'm an ord-in-ar-y guy
Ab               E
Burning down the house

BRIDGE

F#                  E
Three hundred sixty - five degrees
Ab              E
Burning down the house

F#                  E
Fightin' fire with fire
F#                  E

Gonna burst into flame

F#                  E
Fightin' fire with fire

Burning down the house
Ab              E     
Burning down the house


F#                           E    
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
F#                    E    
Everything's stuck together
F#                           E    
I don't know what you expect staring into your TV set
F#                  E   F#
Fightin' fire with fire
Ab              E      F#
Burning down the house
Ab              E       F#
Burning down the house
