Close enough but not too far
F

G                     F
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet! Hey you might need a raincoat

Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight

Burning down the house
 
   G
No visible means of support and
F
You have not seen nothin' yet

Everything's stuck together

And I don't know what you expect
    F
Staring into the TV set

Fighting fire with fire
