CHORUS : C#m . G#m . A . B . E
VERSE
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 trill
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, build '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 just can't stop staring at the fire
CHORUS
E E E
Watch it burn, burn, burn
E E E
Watch it burn, burn, burn

B A C#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn
E E E
Watch it burn, burn, burn
VERSE
C#m G#m C#m
And 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 C#m
"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 C#m
Now I can't stop standing in the fire
CHORUS
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
