Verse 1:
G Em
Standing in a world with a streetlight sun
G Em
I don't keep my sneakers white
G Em
all I really got is a name and a buck
G Em
to get me to another life
D
and I wonder what you're doing tonight.
Chorus:
G
I burn the house down
Em
and I leave it behind
C G
I didn't need the money but the money was nice
G
I need a countdown
Em
when the fire is high
C D G
sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight.
Em C G
it's hot tonight.
Em D G
it's hot tonight.
Verse 2:
G Em
2am is bright from this side of the street
G Em
tomorrow seems a year away
G Em
sitting by the fire and I saved you a seat
G Em
you're not keeping track of days
D
and I wonder what you're doing tonight.
Chorus 2:
G
I burn the house down
Em
by the end of the night
C G
my pocket's full of nothing and it's keeping me light
G
I need a countdown
Em
when the fire is high
C D G
sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight.
Em C G
it's hot tonight.
Em D G
it's hot tonight.
Bridge:
C
Drinking in the park
Em G
staring at the stars like a satellite dish
C
I had a good time
D
and I'm ready to die.
Verse 3:
G Em
Nothing is enough to anyone else
G Em
I wait until they pass me by
G Em
standing in a world with a streetlight sun
G Em
watch me slipping out of sight
D
and I wonder what you're doing tonight.
Chorus 3:
G
I burn the house down
Em
by the end of the night
C G
I didn't need the money but the money was nice
G
I need a countdown
Em
as I'm watching it die
C D G
sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight.
Em C G
it's hot tonight.
Em D G
it's hot tonight.
