[Verse 1]
     C#m        G#m             C#m
I've always had trouble staying still

        A              B                 C#m
I stand next to what I hate just for the thrill

          A                   B         E       B      C#m
Spent the first quarter of my life on a million dollar bill

          A         B              E
'Cause I can't stop staring at the fire

            C#m             G#m              C#m
We got our crosses and our buildings, built 'em tall

       A              B                C#m
And my book's another brick inside the wall

         A                  B            E        B      C#m
We sure make ourselves feel busy, but we don't do much at all

        A             B            E
Except sit around and stare at the fire

        C#m              G#m             C#m
And the protesters have gathered in the streets

A           B             C#m
Opposite, a block full of police

         A                  B            E      B       C#m
But they both have the same problem with God as you and me

               A          B              E
It's that they can't stop staring at the fire
[Chorus]
         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn

         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn

         E     A     C#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn

         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn
[Verse 2]
           C#m      G#m                C#m
Went to an ashram a million miles from here

   A            B       C#m
An old man on a blanket appeared

   A                B              E         B     C#m
He waved me to come closer, and he whispered in my ear

             A           B              E
"Son, you've got to stop staring at the fire"

    C#m        G#m           C#m
But all my ego trips come in flocks

         A         B                         C#m
And they tell me, "Kid, it's really not that hot"

              A            B           E        B      C#m
Take your anxiety and your guilt, just throw it all on top

      A          B               E
Now I can't stop standing in the fire
[Chorus]
         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn

         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn

         E     A     C#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn

         E     E     E
Watch it burn, burn, burn

             E     B     C#m
Oh, watch me burn, burn, burn

         E     B     C#m
Watch me burn, burn, burn

         B     A     C#m
Watch me burn, burn, burn

         C#m   B     E
Watch me burn, burn, burn
