Talking Heads - Burning Down the House: chords

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
A7                F
Burning down the house

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

G
Here's your ticket, pack your bag,
F
it's time for jumping overboard
G                      F
The transportation is here

Close enough but not too far,
maybe you know where you are
Fighting fire with fire, ah!

All wet, here, you might need a raincoat
Shake-down, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty-five degrees
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 say,
β€œBaby, what did you expect?”
Gonna burst into flame, ah

My house is out of the ordinary
That’s right, don't wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support
and you have not seen nothing, yet
Everything's stuck together

I don't know what you expect
staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire, ah

Transpose
