Dm
You can set yourself on fire, hey!
You can set yourself on fire, hey!

Dm
She said, "At night, in my dreams
                A#           A
You dance on a tightrope of weird
               Dm
Oh, but when I wake up
                           A#          A
You're so normal that you just disappear
          Dm
You're so straight like commuters
           A#               A
With briefcases towing the line
           A#   A        Gm   F
There's no residue of a torturer
  Em            Dm
Inside of your eyes"

Dm
She said, "You're just like Mike Love
But you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson"
Said, "You're just like Mike Love
But you'll never be Brian Wilson"

Chorus:
And I said
Dm               F
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius
A#               A
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius
            Dm
Then I'm a fucking arsonist (Hey!)
       F
I'm a rocket scientist (Hey! Hey!)
A#               A
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius...

Dm      C                A#   A
You can set yourself on fire (Hey! Hey!)
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn (Hey! Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey! Hey!)
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn
(Hey!)

She said, "Darlin', you know
How the wine plays tricks on my tongue
But you don't seem to change
When you stuff all of your feelings with drugs"
Other boys you may have dated
Serrated your heart with a slice
But the cut of your love never hurts
Baby, it's a sweet butter knife

She said, "You're just like Mike Love
But you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson"
Said, "You're just like Mike Love
But you'll never be Dennis Wilson"

Chorus:
And I said
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist (Hey!)
I'm a rocket scientist (Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius...

You can set yourself on fire (Hey! Hey!)
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn (Hey! Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey! Hey!)
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn
(Hey!)

You can set yourself on fire (Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire

Chorus:
And I said
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist (Hey!)
I'm a rocket scientist (Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey!) If crazy equals genius...

You can set yourself on fire (Hey! Hey!)
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn (Hey! Hey!)
You can set yourself on fire (Hey! Hey!)
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn
(Hey!)
