Verse 1:
GEm
Standing in a world with a streetlight sun

I don't keep my sneakers white

all I really got is a name and a buck

to get me to another life
D
and I wonder what you're doing tonight.
Chorus:

I burn the house down
Em
and I leave it behind

I need a countdown

when the fire is high

sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight.

it's hot tonight.
Gm
it's hot tonight.
Verse 2:
GEm
2am is bright from this side of the street

sitting by the fire and I saved you a seat
GEm
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

my pocket's full of nothing and it's keeping me light

I need a countdown

when the fire is high

sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight.

it's hot tonight.
Gm
it's hot tonight.

Nothing is enough to anyone else

I wait until they pass me by

watch me slipping out of sight

and I wonder what you're doing tonight.

it's hot tonight.

it's hot tonight.
