It's four A.M., I'm drunk and alone

Tryin' to call you on a public phone

I wanted passion, I wanted desire

A

My heart is a flame that pains me if I do not

CHORUS:

A E

Light it on Fire

A E

If I do not light it on fire

A E

If I do not light it on fire

A (n.c.)

If I do not light it on fire

VERSE 2 (Main riff repeated through first 3 lines, last line A as above):

I'm the perfect picture of a perfect fool

You're out doin' what I wanted ya' to

I'm in heartbreak hotel and there's a desk clerk for hire

My heart is a flame that pains me if I do not

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

C C E A E

How can I tell you

C C E A E

Just how it feels

C C E A E

How can you make love stay and

A

How do you know if what's stayin' is real

MAIN RIFF + guitar solo

VERSE 3 (same as VERSES 1 and 2):

I was the one full of whiskey and talk

I was the one with the skip in my walk

You say the truth hurts, well so does a liar

My heart's a flame that pains.....

CHORUS

(repeated with A E chords into MAIN RIFF close)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

(note: the easiest way to play the riff is to start with

your first finger on the D string, 2nd fret. After the first

two E notes and the note on the D string, move it to the A

string, where it remains, until you hit the A chords. After the

A chords, place your first three fingers on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th

frets of the D string, and pull off one after each note...)
