Gm I came around to your front door, your back door was locked Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock C Gm I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside D I ran to the top floor, A# but you were on the ground C D# I was on my way up and you were going down Chorus: Gm C A# Gm Fire in the basement Burn me up, scream and shout There's fire in the basement Only you can put it out This strange sensation that I'm going through Sweet infatuation when I get next to you I know what it takes to be a man, you understand Because when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so glad I came Chorus Smoky eyes burning bright Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite Surrender to the flame, what's your name Let's get down to business, how can you refuse Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  D  D#  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
