Standard (EADGBE)

 Drive by my house late at night

 You can see from the freeway above

No silhouette but the light left on

Burnin' there for love

Burnin' there for love

Smoke is risin' from the back,

Comin' out my back door

I'm inside sound asleep

Cigarette on the floor

Burnin' there for love

Burnin' there for love

(chorus)

I can still remember

A couple of years ago

When the smoke and flame from our name

 Was a burnin' house of love

 A burnin' house of love

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

(solo break)

(repeat chorus)

Well the rusty nail over our front door

Is where I hung our tears in a ring

I threw that horsehoe into the weeds

To see what luck can bring

To see what luck can bring

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

On either side of town

I think I might take a ride

And burn your love house down

 (Like a) Burnin' house of love

Burnin' house of love (repeats)

(repeat chorus)
