Intro 
|G   |G   |G   |G 
 
Verse 1:    G 
Hey little girl is your daddy home 
           G 
Did he go away and leave you all alone 
    C                   Em 
Oh yes, I got a bad desire 
 
 C     D           G 
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire 
 
Verse 2:G          G 
   Tell me now baby is he good to you 
          G 
Can he do to you the things that I do 
     C                        Em 
Oh yes, I'm gonna take you higher 
 
 C     D           G 
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire 
 
Verse 3:G                             C 
  Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull 
            Em                                          Em 
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull 
Em            G 
   At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet 
              G 
And a freight train running through the middle of my head 
      C                 Em 
Only you can cool my desire 
 
 C     D           G 
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire 
 C     D           G   G 
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire 
 
Hoomming 
  G      C     Em 
Hoo hoo hoo hoo 
  G      C     Em 
Hoo hoo hoo hoo

Hoo hoo hoo hoo   hoo hoo 
 
Verse 4:G                             C 
  Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull 
            Em                                          Em 
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull 
Em            G 
   At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet 
              G 
And a freight train running through the middle of my head 
      C                 Em 
Only you can cool my desire 
 
 C     D           G 
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire 
 C     D           G 
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire
