You started to see these, like, flames

A fire started in the school

Bridge:
Bm F
And oh whoa when he struck the match
C
To make the big payback he said
G
"Shananananananana"
F
He thought, "We're all so wrong"
C
And he cried alone and he went
G
"Shananananananana"
F
And the girl and the kids
C
And all that his parents did, he said
G
"Shananananananana"
F
Ooh he thought, "We're all so wrong"
C
And with this he'd finally have won and baby now
G
"Shananananananana" Oh no no
F C
But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
F C
Poor poor Shane, poor poor Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
F C
But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane
G
"Shananananananana"
F C G
And he ran and he and he ran
F C
And he ran and he ran
G
And he ran
F C
He increased their pain
G
"Shananananananana"
F C
And the kids and all that his family did
G
Just to increase the pain
F
And then he ran away
