D A
Don't stand so close to me
D A
Don't be another tragedy
Bm G
I've burned everybody who had a hand to lend
A D
A man burning at both ends
D A
No one put me in this Hell
D A
I lit a fire underneath myself
Bm G
Now I'm blazing the same old trail back to you again
A D*
A man burning at both ends

G
A dangerous thing to know about
Bm
No painless way to put me out
Em
You either make a bed that's cold
A
Or you're walking barefoot over coals

D A
I regret the things I've done
D A
Bitter words and fiery tongues
Bm G
And letters burned to smoke and then turned to wind
A D*
A man burning at both ends

G
A dangerous thing to know about
Bm
No painless way to put me out
Em
You either make a bed that's cold
A
Or you're walking barefoot over coals
G
We ran barefoot through the reeds
Bm
Wetted down and with the need
Em
The tide though high and getting higher
A
Could not put out the man on fire

D A D*
Look look look look look down your street for me
D A D*
Look look look look look up at your window please
Bm G
You'll see a light where before no light had been
A D*
A man burning at both ends

D D G G D D G G fade out...
