Pete Rasche posted this song already, but I found many mistakes in key
parts of the song, so I decided to correct them and add a few
things(including the solo).

This main riff is played by one guitar during the verse. The other guitar
plays E and A.

Verse 1:
E A
It's four A.M., I'm drunk and alone
E A
Tryin' to call you on a public phone
E A
I wanted passion, I wanted desire
B
My heart is a flame that pains me if I do not

CHORUS:
A E
Light it on Fire
A E
If I do not light it on fire
A E
If I do not light it on fire
A (n.c.)
If I do not light it on fire

VERSE 2:
I'm the perfect picture of a perfect fool
You're out doin' what I wanted ya' to
I'm in heartbreak hotel and there's a desk clerk for hire
My heart is a flame that pains me if I do not

CHORUS




BRIDGE:
D A E A E
How can I tell you
D A E A E
Just how it feels

VERSE 3
I was the one full of whiskey and talk
I was the one with the skip in my walk
You say the truth hurts, well so does a liar
My heart's a flame that pains.....

CHORUS
(repeated with A E chords into MAIN RIFF close)

That's about it. The solo might take a little practice to get right. Laterz!
