Talking Heads
Key : G
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
G

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G         F
 Watch out you might get what you're after
G           F
 Cool babies strange but not a stranger
G       F        G
 I'm an ordinary guy
A                     F
Burning down the house
G          F
 Hold tight wait till the party's over
G          F
 Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
G          F           G
 There has got to be a way
A                     F
Burning down the house

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G
Here's your ticket pack your bag
F
Time for jumpin' overboard
G                     F
 The transportation is here
G
Close enough but not too far
F
Maybe you know where you are
G                     F
 Fightin' fire with fire
Yeah!

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
G        F
 All wet! Hey you might need a raincoat
G          F
 Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
G              F            G
 Three hundred sixty five degrees
A                     F
Burning down the house

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G
It was once upon a place
    F
Sometimes I listen to myself
G                         F
 Gonna come in first place
G
People on their way to work and
F
Baby what did you except
G                      F
 Gonna burst into flame
Yeah!

[Synth Solo 1]

  Burning down the house

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
G         F
 My house! Is out of the ordinary
G             F
 That's right! Don't wanna hurt nobody
G                    F               G
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
A                     F
Burning down the house

[Verse 3]
---------------------
   G
No visible means of support and
F
You have not seen nothin' yet
G                        F
 Everything's stuck together
    G
And I don't know what you expect
    F
Starring into the TV set
G                       F
 Fighting fire with fire
Yeah!
