Am               C     D
I don't want to go to hell
                      C         Am
But if I do it'll be 'cause of you
                   C        D
And a young man's going to make mistakes
               C   Am
'Til he hits the brakes

Chorus:
   Am          C  D
My heart's on fire
                  C  Am
With a strange desire

All those birds on the wire
Are going to say I'm a liar
But we all know in the end
They never were my friend

Chorus:
My heart's on fire
With a strange desire
