City

Em                C      G      
   Let's watch it burn
             D

Em                C      G      
   Let's watch it burn,     
             D
Let's watch this city burn the world

[Chorus:]
Em                 C
  Let's watch this city burn
G                       D
  From the skylights on top of the 
world
Em                     C
  'Til there's nothing left of her
G                  D
  Let's watch this city burn the 
world

[Verse 1:]
   Em                          C
My body doused in ash with two empty
 cans of gas
         G                      
The only evidence they have is a 
   D
police sketch of my mask
         Em                        
And it's hard at times to ask if 
      C
you can save my heart for last
         G                         
And it's hard to face the facts 
      D
when the darkness fades to black


     Em                            
It's not just make believe when 
  C
they make me take a seat
         G                       D
And they put amphetamines in the air
 and make me breathe
        Em                         
So come on and grab your children, 
     C
look out for burning buildings
    G                             
And villains who pillage, they're 
D
killing by the millions
    Em                     C
And billions of people die for a 
lost cause
         G                    D
So now I pray to my nation destroyed
 under god

[Pre-Chorus:]
          Em         C
(It's the end of the world)
       G
All my battles have been won
        D
But the war has just begun

[Chorus:]
Em                 C
  Let's watch this city burn
G                       D
  From the skylights on top of the 
world
Em                     C
  'Til there's nothing left of her

G                  D
  Let's watch this city burn the 
world

[Verse 2:]
    Em                          
The city looks so pretty, do you 
 C
wanna burn it with me?
         G                         
'Til the skies bleeds ashes and the
 D
 fucking skyline crashes
     Em                         C
They catch us with matches to ignite
 the flame
            G                      
And all the hopes of a youth deemed
 D
 fucking insane

          Em
They say, Take the pill, In god we 
trust
C
Go and kill, God loves us
G
As in life as in death
D
Breathing 'til there is no breath

Em                    C
I will not die in the night but in 
the light
       G                          
Of the sun with the ashes of this 
D
world in my lungs
    Em                    C
But who am I to say let's all just 
run away
G                              
Grab your saints and pray, we're 
        D
gonna burn this world today.

[Pre-Chorus:]
              Em         C
(Say it's the end of the world)
      G
As in heaven as on earth
           D
We've been dead since our birth

[Chorus:]

Em                C      G      
   Let's watch it burn
             D

Em                C      G      
   Let's watch it burn
             D

    Em
The city looks so pretty,
       C
Do you wanna burn it with me?
    G
The city looks so pretty
       D
Do you wanna burn it with me?
    Em
The city looks so pretty
       C
Do you wanna burn it with me?
    G
The city looks so pretty
       D
Do you wanna burn it with me?

[Verse 3:]
           Em
We use the trees as torches
       C
Do you wanna burn it with me?
         G
Fill the streets with corpses
       D
Do you wanna burn it with me?
          Em
Watch the city fucking bleed
       C
Do you wanna burn it with me?
          G
Bring the world to its knees
       D
Do you wanna burn it with me?

[Chorus:]
Em                 C
  Let's watch this city burn
G                       D
  From the skylights on top of the 
world
Em                     C
  'Til there's nothing left of her
G                  D
  Let's watch this city burn the 
world

Em                 C
  Let's watch this city burn
G                       D
  From the skylights on top of the 
world
Em                     C
  'Til there's nothing left of her
G                  D
  Let's watch this city burn the 
world

[Outro:]
Em                C      G      
   Let's watch it burn
             D

Em                C      G      
   Let's watch it burn,     
             D
Let's watch this city burn the world
