  It's four A.M., I'm drunk and alone
  Tryin' to call you on a public phone
  I wanted passion, I wanted desire
 My  heart is a flame that pains me if I do not
 Light  it on Fire
 If  I do not  light it on fire
 If  I do not  light it on fire
   (n.
  .)
 If I do not light it on fire
 Main riff repeated through first 3 lines, last line A as above):
 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
   How can  I tell  you
   Just  how it feels
   How can  you make  love stay and
   How do you know if what's stayin' is real
 MAIN RIFF + guitar solo
 same as VERSES 1 and 2):
 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.....
 (repeated with A E chords into MAIN RIFF close)
 (note: the easiest way to play the riff is to start with
 your first finger on the D string, 2nd fret. After the first
 two E notes and the note on the D string, move it to the A
 string, where it remains, until you hit the A chords. After the
 A chords, place your first three fingers on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
 frets of the D string, and pull off one after each note...)
