[INTRO]
| [E] | A E | E | [A] [E] |

[VERSE 1]
[E] Something is burning, baby, [A]are you a[E]ware?
[E] Something is the matter, baby, there’s [A]smoke in your [E]hair
Are [E]you still my friend, baby, [A]show me a [E]sign
[E] [A] [E] | [E] | [A] [E] |
Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?

[VERSE 2]
You’ve been a[E]voiding the main streets for a [A]long, lon[E]g while
The [E]truth that I’m seeking is in [A]your missing [E]file
[E] What’s your position, baby, [A]what’s going [E]on?
[E] [A] [E] | [E] | [A] [E] |
Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?

[VERSE 3]
I know [E]everything about this place, [A]or so it [E]seems
Am [E]I no longer a part of your [A]plans or your [E]dreams?
Well, it [E]is so obvious that something [A]has [E]changed
[E] What’s happening, baby, to make you [A]act so [E]strange?

[VERSE 4]
[E] Something is burning, baby, [A]here’s what I [E]say
Even the [E]bloodhounds of London couldn’t [A]find you to[E]day
I see the [E]shadow of a man, baby, [A]makin’ you [E]blue
[E]Who is he, baby, and [A]what’s he to [E]you?

[VERSE 5]
We’ve reached the [E]edge of the road, baby, where the [A]pasture be[E]gins
Where [E]charity is supposed to cover up a [A]multitude of [E]sins
But [E]where do you live, baby, and [A]where is the [E]light?
[E] Why are your eyes just staring [A]off in the [E]night?

[VERSE 6]
I can [E]feel it in the night, in the night, in the night when [A]I think of [E]you
I can [E]feel it in the light, in the light, in the light and it’s [A]got to be [E]true
[E]You can’t live by bread alone, you [A]won’t be satis[E]fied
[E] [A] [E] | [E] | [A] [E] |
You can’t roll away the stone if your hands are tied

[VERSE 7]
[E]Got to start someplace, baby, [A]can you ex[E]plain?
[E] Please don’t fade away on me, baby, [A]like the midnight [E]train
[E] Answer me, baby, a casual [A]look will [E]do
[E] [A] [E] | [E] | [A] [E] |
Just what in the world has come over you?

[VERSE 8]
I can [E]feel it in the wind, in the wind, in the wind and it’s [A]upside [E]down
I can [E]feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the [A]outskirts of [E]town
I’ve had the [E]Mexico City blues since the l[A]ast hairpin [E]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] Something is burning, baby, [A]something’s in [E]flames
There’s a [E]man going ’round ...[A] calling [E]names
[E] Ring down when you’re ready, baby, I’m [A]waiting for [E]you
I be[E]lieve in the impossible, you [A]know that I [E]do

[CODA]
[E] Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, [A]ooh-ooh-ooh-[E]ooh
[E] Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, [A]ooh-ooh-ooh-[E]ooh
