[Intro]
Gm     F Gm
 
[Verse 1]
Gm
I came around to your front door, your back door was locked
Gm
Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock
C                   Gm
Oh baby, I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside
  D                         Bb
I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground
    C                      Eb
But I was on my way up and you were going down
 
[Chorus]
Gm                   C Bb Gm
Fire in the basement
                             C Bb Gm
Burn me up, scream and shout
                               C Bb Gm
There's a fire in the basement
                        C Bb Gm F
Only you can put it out
 
[Verse 2]
Gm
This strange sensation that I'm going through
Gm
Sweet infatuation when I get next to you
C                               Gm
Oh,I know what it takes to be a man, you understand
        D                                   Bb
Because when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same
    C                                    Eb
You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so glad I came
 
[Chorus]
Gm                   C Bb Gm
Fire in the basement
                             C Bb Gm
Burn me up, scream and shout
                               C Bb Gm
There's a fire in the basement
                        C Bb Gm F
Only you can put it out

[Verse 3]
Gm
Smoky eyes burning bright
Gm
Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite
C                         Gm
Oh baby, surrender to the flame, what's your name
D                           Bb
Let's get down to business, how can you refuse
C                             Eb               F
Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse
 
[Chorus]

Only you can put it out
              I came 'round to your front door, your back door was locked
Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock
I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside
I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground
I was on my way up and you were going down

Fire in the basement
Burn me up, scream and shout
There's fire in the basement
Only you can put it out

This strange sensation that I'm going through
Sweet infatuation when I get next to you
I know what it takes to be a man, you understand
'Cause when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same
You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so glad I came

Fire in the basement
Burn me up, scream and shout
Fire in the basement
Only you can put it out

Smoky eyes burning bright
Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite
Surrender to the flame, what's your name
Let's get down to business, how can you refuse
Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse
