E             C#m          A           E 
Standing in a world with a streetlight sun 
E               C#m             A  E  
I don't keep my sneakers white 
E            C#m      A          E            
All I really got is a name and a buck 
E            C#m           A  E                   
To get me to another life 
     B 
and I wonder what you're doing tonight.

           E     C#m 
I burn the house down 
      A        E 
and I leave it behind 
                  C#m           A         E 
I didn't need the money but the money was nice 
              C#m 
I need a countdown 
         A       E 
when the fire is high 
               C#m           A    E 
sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight. 

2am is bright from this side of the street 
tomorrow seems a year away 
sitting by the fire and I saved you a seat 
you're not keeping track of days 
and I wonder what you're doing tonight. 

I burn the house down 
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. 


Bridge:  
B               E        A 
Drinking in the park 
B              E            A 
staring at the stars like a satellite dish 
B            E         A 
I had a good time 
B                E    A 
and I'm ready to die. 


Same as before: 

Nothing is enough to anyone else 
I wait until they pass me by 
standing in a world with a streetlight sun 
watch me slipping out of sight 
and I wonder what you're doing tonight. 

I burn the house down 
by the end of the night 
I didn't need the money but the money was nice 
I need a countdown 
as I'm watching it die 
sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight
