Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Don't  stand too close  to me
Don't  be another tradgedy
 I've burned  everybody
 Who had  a hand to lend
 A man  burning at both ends
 No one put me in this hell
 I lit the fire underneath myself
 Now Im blazing the same old
 Trail back to you again
 A man burning at both ends
A  dangerous thing to know about
No  painless way to put me
You  either make a bed thats cold
 Or you're walking  barefoot over coals
 I regret the things Ive done
 Bitter words and fiery tounges
 And letters burned to smoke
 And then turned to wind
 A man burning at both ends
 A dangerous thing to know about
 No painless way to put me
 You either make a bed thats cold
 or you're walking barefoot over coals
We  ran barefoot the reeds
Wetted  down and with need
The  tide, though high and getting higher
 Could not put out the  man on fire
 Look, look, look, look ,look down your street for me
 Look up in your window please
 You'll see a light where before no light had been
 A man burning at both ends
