Start Jamming...
I'm burning with fire
[F#] What?
[E]
You're not getting what you're [F#] after Oh, baby
[E]
[B] Strange but not a [F#] stranger
More [E]
than [F#] every guy
[G#] Running [E] down the house
[F#] Oh, baby
[E] Wait till the party's [F#] over Oh, baby
[E]
We're as fun as [F#] you and I
There [E] has got to be [F#] a way
[G#] Running [E] down the house
[F#] Here's your [B] ticket, pack your bags
Time for jumping [F#] overboard
The [C#] transportation is here
[F#] Close [E] enough but not too far
[B] Maybe you know where you are
Fire, fire, [E] we're fire
[C#] [F#] Oh, baby
[E] Yeah, you might need a [F#] raincoat Shake down
[E] Dreams walking in broad [F#] daylight
[E] 336 degrees
[F#] [G#] Running [E] down the house
[F#] It was [B] once upon a place
Sometimes I listen to [F#] myself
[B] Gonna come in first [C#] place
[F#] People [B] on their way to work
Baby, what did you [F#] expect?
[B] Gonna burst [E] in
[C#] flame
[F#] Fighting fire [E] with fire
[F#m] [F#] [E]
[F#] Fighting fire with fire
[G#] Running [B] down the [F#] house
My [E] house
It's out of the ordinary
[F#] That's right
Don't wanna hurt nobody
Something sure can sweep me off my feet
[G#] Running [B] down the house
[F#]
Watch out
[E] You're not getting what [F#] you're after Cool, baby
[E] [B] Strange, but not a [F#] stranger
[E] I'm in northern [F#] Africa
[E]
365 [F#] degrees
[G#] Running [E] down the house
Fire, fire, [F#] we're [G#] fire
Fighting [E]
[F#] [G#] fire [E] with fire
Fire, fire, [F#] we're [G#] fire
[E]
Gonna burst [F#] in [G#] flame
Fighting [E] fire with [F#] fire
Fire, [G#] fire, [E] we're [F#] fire
I've been the [G#] fool in your [E] heart
And you have not seen nothing yet
Yeah, we've [Em] got together
[F#] I don't [B] know what you expect
[E] Staring into your [B] TV set
[E] [F#] [E]
[F#] [E]
[B] [F#] [E]
[F#] [E]
[Em] [N]
