this is a great song by jake owen . just listen for timing and rhythm . he plays it in A
lower tuning , but standard works too .
G
well that big red sun was sinkin’ slow
that rising had a haunting glow
Cadd9
i could see those heat waves rising off the ground
G
we were sittin’on go at that old stop sign
headlights shinin’ on the county line
Cadd9
it was do or die , had to get out of 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 Cadd9
chasin’ down a feelin’ runnin’ on desire
G
the future was an open road
Cadd9
gone in a cloud of smoke
Em D Cadd9
leavin’ a trail of flames behind those tires
Cadd9 D G
just you and me girl , settin’ the world on fire
Cadd9 G Cadd9
yeah , we were settin’ the world on fire
G
we were blazin’ down the road like kerouac
no time to stop and cover our tracks
Cadd9
we were too damn hot for any one town to hold
G
yeah , we burned through a few good years
then you started looking back in that rear view mirror
Cadd9
right outside of reno the trail got cold
Am C D
you said you’d had enough of this ramblin’ love
G
tryin’ to set the world on fire
Cadd9
turn the key and spark the wire
Em D Cadd9
chasin’ down a feelin’ runnin’ on desire
G
the future was an open road
Cadd9
gone in a cloud of smoke
Em D Cadd9
leavin’ a trail of flames behind those tires
Cadd9 D
F C D D
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
Cadd9
it’s times like this a always think of you
Am C D
but honey you know me i’ll always be . .
G
tryin’ to the world on fire
