 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)
