E A

Drive by my house late at night

E D

You can see from the freeway above

E C

No silhouette but the light left on

A G E

Burnin' there for love

Burnin' there for love

E A

Smoke is risin' from the back,

E D

Comin' out my back door

E C

I'm inside sound asleep

A G E

Cigarette on the floor

Burnin' there for love

Burnin' there for love

(chorus)

A D

I can still remember

A G E

A couple of years ago

E A D

When the smoke and flame from our name

A G E

Was a burnin' house of love

A G E

A burnin' house of love

A burnin' house of love (repeats a couple of times)

(solo break)

(repeat chorus)

E A

Well the rusty nail over our front door

E D

Is where I hung our tears in a ring

E C

I threw that horsehoe into the weeds

A G E

To see what luck can bring

To see what luck can bring

E A

Now you're in your bed and I'm in mine

E D

On either side of town

E C

I think I might take a ride

A G E

And burn your love house down

A G E

(Like a) Burnin' house of love

Burnin' house of love (repeats)

(repeat chorus)
