[Verse 1]
ESomeone left the cat out in the rain
ESomeone left us waiting here to deal with all the pain
ESomeone else was caught upon the wire
ESomeone else's life changed when he felt the fire
[Interlude]
F#We got no patience but we get through
F#We got no patience but we got you
[Verse 2]
EAll of the complainers shout no fair
EAll the hurricanes with their fists up in the air
ESomeone gave the order, kill the pain
ESomeone else ignored her, left the cat out in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
EOne more fire, Am'fore I die, Aone Emore Dfire get me higGh
[Chorus]
EmCome on down to the Efire
Come on down to the Dflame
ELeave you problems behind ya
Shine on doomsday, Dshine on doomsday

[Verse 3]
EThe circle closed in tight around the ring
EWhen eagle takes to flight, the scorpion to sting
ESomeone panicked, someone threw the switch
EWe all covered up, took shelter in the ditch
[Interlude]
F#We got no patience but we get through
F#We got no patience but we got you
[Verse 4]
EAll of the complainers weren't there
EAll the hurricaners, took the flight by sea and air
EThey all panicked, melted in the rain
ESomeone left the cat out
EPut a bullet in her brain
[Pre-Chorus]
EOne more fire, 'Afore I die, Eone more fire Aget me Ghigh
[Chorus]
ECome on down to the fire (Emcome on)
Come on down to the Dflame (Ecome on)
