Verse 1:
   C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m       C# minorC#m
I've always had trouble staying still
    A augmentedA       BB         C# minorC#m
I stand next to what I hate just for the thrill
     A augmentedA          BB     E MajorE    BB   C# minorC#m
Spent the first quarter of my life on a million dollar bill
     A augmentedA     BB       E MajorE
'Cause I can't stop staring at the fire
      C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m       C# minorC#m
We got our crosses and our buildings, built 'em tall
    A augmentedA       BB        C# minorC#m
And my book's another brick inside the wall
     A augmentedA         BB      E MajorE    BB   C# minorC#m
We sure make ourselves feel busy, but we don't do much at all
    A augmentedA       BB      E MajorE
Except sit around and stare at the fire
    C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m       C# minorC#m
And the protesters have gathered in the streets
A augmentedA      BB       C# minorC#m
Opposite, a block full of police
     A augmentedA         BB      E MajorE   BB    C# minorC#m
But they both have the same problem with God as you and me
        A augmentedA     BB       E MajorE
It's that they can't stop staring at the fire

Chorus:
     E MajorE   E MajorE   E MajorE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
     E MajorE   E MajorE   E MajorE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
     E MajorE   A augmentedA   C# minorC#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn
     E MajorE   E MajorE   E MajorE
Watch it burn, burn, burn


Verse 2:
      C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m        C# minorC#m
Went to an ashram a million miles from here
  A augmentedA      BB    C# minorC#m
An old man on a blanket appeared
  A augmentedA        BB       E MajorE     BB   C# minorC#m
He waved me to come closer, and he whispered in my ear
       A augmentedA      BB       E MajorE
"Son, you've got to stop staring at the fire"
  C# minorC#m    G# minorG#m      C# minorC#m
But all my ego trips come in flocks
     A augmentedA     BB             C# minorC#m
And they tell me, "Kid, it's really not that hot"
       A augmentedA      BB      E MajorE    BB   C# minorC#m
Take your anxiety and your guilt, just throw it all on top
   A augmentedA     BB        E MajorE
Now I can't stop standing in the fire


Chorus:
     E MajorE   E MajorE   E MajorE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
     E MajorE   E MajorE   E MajorE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
     E MajorE   A augmentedA   C# minorC#m
Watch it burn, burn, burn
     E MajorE   E MajorE   E MajorE
Watch it burn, burn, burn
       E MajorE   BB   C# minorC#m
Oh, watch me burn, burn, burn
     E MajorE   BB   C# minorC#m
Watch me burn, burn, burn
     BB   A augmentedA   C# minorC#m
Watch me burn, burn, burn
     C# minorC#m  BB   E MajorE
Watch me burn, burn, burn
