[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 the 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
Dm
  You either make a bed that's cold
          G7
Or you're walking barefoot over coals

[Bridge]
F
  We ran barefoot the reeds
Am
  Wetted down and with 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)
