Settin' the World On Fire Chords & Lyrics by Jake Owen
Settin' the World On Fire
guitar chords lyrics
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
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 these tires
Cadd9 D G
See I'm out here girl settin' the world on fire
Cadd9 G
I'm settin' the world on fire
Cadd9 G
Yeah, I'm settin' the world on fire
