[Intro]
| E | A E | E | A E |
[Verse 1]
E A E Something is burning, baby, are you aware? E A E Something is the matter, baby, there’s smoke in your hair E A E Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign E A E | E | A E | Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?
[Verse 2]
E A E You’ve been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while E A E The truth that I’m seeking is in your missing file E A E What’s your position, baby, what’s going on? E A E | E | A E | Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?
[Verse 3]
E A E I know everything about this place, or so it seems E A E Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams? E A E Well, it is so obvious that something has changed E A E What’s happening, baby, to make you act so strange?
[Verse 4]
E A E Something is burning, baby, here’s what I say E A E Even the bloodhounds of London couldn’t find you today E A E I see the shadow of a man, baby, makin’ you blue E A E Who is he, baby, and what’s he to you?
[Verse 5]
E A E We’ve reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins E A E Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins E A E But where do you live, baby, and where is the light? E A E Why are your eyes just staring off in the night?
[Verse 6]
E A E I can feel it in the night, in the night, in the night when I think of you E A E I can feel it in the light, in the light, in the light and it’s got to be true E A E You can’t live by bread alone, you won’t be satisfied E A E | E | A E | You can’t roll away the stone if your hands are tied
[Verse 7]
E A E Got to start someplace, baby, can you explain? E A E Please don’t fade away on me, baby, like the midnight train E A E Answer me, baby, a casual look will do E A E | E | A E | Just what in the world has come over you?
[Verse 8]
E A E I can feel it in the wind, in the wind, in the wind and it’s upside down E A E I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town E A E I’ve had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve E A E | I don’t wanna see you bleed, I know what you need but it ain’t what you deserve
[Verse 9]
E A E Something is burning, baby, something’s in flames E A E There’s a man going ’round ... calling names E A E Ring down when you’re ready, baby, I’m waiting for you E A E I believe in the impossible, you know that I do [Coda] E A E Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh E A E Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
