[Verse 1]
BHouse is burning, you can't go home
Got no reason to be all alone
F#Sneaking down the alley like a snake in the grass
To see where you're going I don't need a looking glass
Well G#mI won't judge you at a Bdistance, we G#mall got our ways to get B7along
G#mOnce the two of you start to Bdancing, you're gonna C#dance now till the dance floor's F#gone
[Chorus]
BNow you can't go out, D#you can't go home
EEven in a crowd you feel C#all alone, Efind yourself hiding from the F#lightF#7  
BYou need some money, got no D#7shame
You're E7just a pawn running C#in his game
EMr. Midnight, F#7it's always the Bsame
[Verse 2]
BToo many lies, the web gets so tight
Tangled at an angle that you just can't see right
F#Heavy loaded, flying low, you say you got it all under control
G#mI know why you go back to Bhim G#mthough he's such a mean old B7man
G#mHe whispers secrets in your B7ear, now
His C#wish is your cF#ommand
[Chorus]
BNow you can't go out, D#you can't go home

BYou're running downhill, you just cannot stop
Whole life small enough to fit in a matchbox
F#Holding patterns on well-worn ground
BCowards, corners, making the rounds
G#mWho's looking back at you in the Bmirror?
G#mSkin and bones, you look so B7thin
