G Em F C G
[Verse 1]
G
Well, there's a hot wind blowing tonight in the east
Em
And I heard that the park is filled tonight with police
F C G
On the radio there's nothing but a man saying to stay inside
[Verse 2]
G
Well, I remember what you said on the telephone
Em
That you didn't feel like it was safe to stay alone
F C G
And you would get yourself to me if you could find a way across the line
[Chorus]
A# F C
But there's fire tonight on your side of town
A# F C
Orange light in the sky without a sound
G Em F C G
[Verse 3]
G
Well, there's a faint sound of sirens tonight in the air
Em
And I heard that the downtown streets tonight are bare
F C G
On the TV here they're telling me the roads are all closed down
[Verse 4]
G
You said that if you couldn't take the car you'd walk instead
Em
It was the last thing you said before the line went dead
F C G
And now I'm waiting by the window holding all the things of yours I've found
[Chorus]
A# F C
But there's fire tonight on your side of town
A# F C
Orange light in the sky without a sound
A# F C
Fire tonight on your side of town
A# F C
I watch and wait for you to come around
[Bridge]
F G# F
I know we always said that we were free
G# F
I know we never thought this would succeed
G# G
But now your face is all that I can see
[Chorus]
A# F C
But there's fire tonight on your side of town
A# F C
Orange light in the sky without a sound
A# F C
Fire tonight on your side of town
A# F C
I watch and wait for you to come around
[Outro]
