Talking Heads - Burning Down the House


G G G G F F
Watch out you might get what you're after
G G G G G G F F
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
G G G G F F G G
I'm an ord-in-ar-y guy
A7 A7 F F
Burning down the house



G G G G F F
Hold tight wait till the party's over
G G G G G G F F
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
G G G G F F G G
There has got to be a way
A7 A7 F F
Burning down the house

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

G G G G F F
All wet hey you might need a raincoat
G G G G G G F F
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
G G G G F F G G
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
A7 A7 F F
Burning down the house

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

A7 A7 F F
Burning down the house


G G G G F F
My house S'out of the ordinary
G G G G G G F F
That's might Don't want to hurt nobody
G G G G F F G G
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
A7 A7 F F
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
