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