[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]
