  23 E                           A        E
  24 Something is burning, baby, are you aware?
  25 E                                      A             E
  26 Something is the matter, baby, there's smoke in your hair
  27     E                          A         E
  28 Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign
  29        E                      A          E
  30 Is the love in your heart for me turning blind?
  31
  32 You've been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while
  33 The truth that I'm seeking is in your missing file
  34 What's your position, baby, what's going on?
  35 Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?
  36
  37 I know everything about this place, or so it seems
  38 Am I no longer a part of your plans or your dreams?
  39 Well, it is so obvious that something has changed
  40 What's happening, baby, to make you act so strange?
  41
  42 Something is burning, baby, here's what I say
  43 Even the bloodhounds of London couldn't find you today
  44 I see the shadow of a man, baby, makin' you blue
  45 Who is he, baby, and what's he to you?
  46
  47 We've reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins
  48 Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins
  49 But where do you live, baby, and where is the light?
  50 Why are your eyes just staring off in the night?
  51
  52       E                                                   A          E          E
  53 I can feel it in the night in the night in the night when I think of you
  54       E                                                       A         E
  55 I can feel it in the light in the light in the light and it's got to be true
  56 E                                  A             E
  57 You can't live by bread alone, you won't be satisfied
  58 E                             A                 E
  59 You can't roll away the stone if your hands are tied
  60
  61 Got to start someplace, baby, can you explain?
  62 Please don't fade away on me, baby, like the midnight train
  63 Answer me, baby, a casual look will do
  64 Just what in the world has come over you?
  65
  66 I can feel it in the wind in the wind in the wind and it's upside down
  67 I can feel it in the dust as I get off the bus on the outskirts of town
  68 I've had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve
  69 I don't wanna see you bleed, I know what you need
  70 but it ain't what you deserve
  71
  72 Something is burning, baby, something's in flames
  73 There's a man going 'round calling names
  74 Ring down when you're ready, baby, I'm waiting for you
  75 I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
