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)
