Settin The World On Fire

Intro: G Cadd9 G Cadd9


          G
Well that big red sun was sinkin' 
slow

That rising had a haunting glow
I could see those heat waves rising 
         Cadd9
off the ground

        G
We were sittin'on go at that old 
stop sign

Headlights shinin' on the county 
line
It was do or die, had to get out of 
     Cadd9
that town

              Am
Well honey, you said run
    C         D
We were so young

  G
Tryin' to the world on fire
Cadd9
Turn the key and spark the wire
Em                    D         
Chasin' down a feelin' runnin' 
Cadd9
on desire
      G
The future was an open road
Cadd9
Gone in a cloud of smoke
Em                   D           
Leavin' a trail of flames behind 
      Cadd9
those tires
Continues after the ad
Cadd9                   D        
Just you and me girl, settin' the
          G
 world on fire

Cadd9                             
          Yeah, we were settin' 
           G          Cadd9
the world on fire

        G
We were blazin' down the road like 
Kerouac

No time to stop and cover our tracks
We were too damn hot for any one 
        Cadd9
town to hold

      G
Yeah, we burned through a few good 
years

Then you started looking back in 
that rear view mirror
Right outside of Reno the trail got 
Cadd9
cold
                Am                
You said you'd had enough of this 
C         D
ramblin' love

G
Tryin' to set the world on fire
Cadd9
Turn the key and spark the wire
Em                     D          
Chasin' down a feelin' runnin' on 
Cadd9
desire
    G
The future was an open road

Gone in a cloud of smoke
Em                 D             
Leavin' a trail of flames behind 
      Cadd9
those tires
Cadd9                         
For a while there girl, we were

settin' the world on fire

G
Pullin' on a lucky strike 'bout to 
head west

Ridin' off into God's sunset
It's times like this a always think 
   Cadd9
of you
          Am               C      
But honey you know me I'll always
