I checked out the tabs for Springsteen but there wasn't anything great so I tabbed this 
Heather's Version. You may want to use 577655 for A to get the high note, but doesn't 
matter.
Verse
AHey little boy is your mummy home
Did she go out and leave you all alone
DI've got a bad deF#msire
DOhhh, Eohhh I'm on Afire
ATell me now baby is she good to you
Does she do to you the things that I don't do
DI can take you F#mhigher
DOhhh, Eohhh I'm on Afire (x2)
D     E     A
Bridge
Sometimes like Dsomeone took a knife baby edgy and dull
And put a F#msix inch valley through the middle of my soul
Verse
AAt night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only Dyou can cool my deF#msire
DOhhh, Eohhh I'm on Afire
DOhhh, Eohhh I'm on Afire
DOhhh, Eohhh I'm on Afire
F#mOooooh, Aooooooh x 7
