[Verse 1]
C                 Gsus4
  Don't stand too close to me

C                  Gsus4
 Don't be another tragedy

     Am
I've burned everybody

    G               F
Who had a hand to lend

  G
A man burning at both ends

G                       Gsus4
  No one put me in this hell

C                   Gsus4
  I lit a fire underneath myself

        Am
Now I'm blazing the same old

G                   F
Trail back to you again

  G                     G
A man burning at both ends
[Chorus]
F
  A dangerous thing to know about

Am
  No painless way to put me out

Dm
  You either make a bed that's cold

          G7
Or you're walkin' barefoot over coals
[Verse 2]
C               Gsus4
  I regret the things I've done

C                   Gsus4
  Bitter words and fiery tounges

    Am                 G
And letters burned to smoke

                   F
And then turned to wind

  G                   G
A man burning at both ends
[Solo] G G Am F [Chorus]
F
  A dangerous thing to know about

Am
  No painless way to put me out

Dm
  You either make a bed that's cold

          G7
Or you're walking barefoot over coals
[Bridge]
F
  We ran barefoot through the reeds

Am
  Wetted down and with the need

Dm
  The tide, though high and getting higher

      G7
Could not put out the man on fire
[Outro]
C                       G                         C
Look, look, look, look, look down your street for me

C                        G                      C
Look, look, look, look, look up in your window please

       Am                   G                 F
You'll see a light where before no light had been

  G                    C    C C
A man burning at both ends
Am F G Am F G (Fade out)
