C#mG#mC#m
I've always had trouble staying still
ABC#m
I stand next to what I hate just for the thrill
ABEBC#m
Spent the first quarter of my life on a million dollar bill
ABE
'Cause I can't stop staring at the fire
C#mG#mC#m
We got our crosses and our buildings, built 'em tall
ABC#m
And my book's another brick inside the wall
ABEBC#m
We sure make ourselves feel busy, but we don't do much at all
ABE
Except sit around and stare at the fire
C#mG#mC#m
And the protesters have gathered in the streets
ABC#m
Opposite, a block full of police
ABEBC#m
But they both have the same problem with God as you and me
ABE
It's that they can't stop staring at the fire
[Chorus]
EEE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
EEE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
EAC#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn
EEE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
[Verse 2]
C#mG#mC#m
Went to an ashram a million miles from here
ABC#m
An old man on a blanket appeared
ABEBC#m
He waved me to come closer, and he whispered in my ear
ABE
"Son, you've got to stop staring at the fire"
C#mG#mC#m
But all my ego trips come in flocks
ABC#m
And they tell me, "Kid, it's really not that hot"
ABEBC#m
Take your anxiety and your guilt, just throw it all on top
ABE
Now I can't stop standing in the fire
[Chorus]
EEE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
EEE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
EAC#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn
EEE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
EBC#m
Oh, watch me burn, burn, burn
EBC#m
Watch me burn, burn, burn
BAC#m
Watch me burn, burn, burn
C#mBE
Watch me burn, burn, burn
