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.
Well that big [G]red sun was sinkin' slow
That rising had a haunting glow
I could see those heat waves rising off the g[Cadd9]round
We were sitti[G]n'on go at that old stop sign
Headlights shinin' on the county line
It was do or die, had to get out of that [Cadd9]town
Well honey, yo[Am]u said run
We w[C]ere so you[D]ng
Tr[G]yin' to the world on fire
Tu[Cadd9]rn the key and spark the wire
C[Em]hasin' down a feelin' [D]runnin' on[Cadd9] desire
The fu[G]ture was an open road
[Cadd9]Gone in a cloud of smoke
[Em]Leavin' a trail of fla[D]mes behind those t[Cadd9]ires
[Cadd9]Just you and me girl, setti[D]n' the world on[G] fire
[Cadd9] Yeah, we were settin' the world [G]on fire[Cadd9]
We[G] were blazin' down the road like Kerouac
No time to stop and cover our tracks
We were too damn hot for any one town to [Cadd9]hold
Y[G]eah, we burned through a few good years
Then you started looking back in that rear view mirror
Right outside of Reno the trail got c[Cadd9]old
You said you'd had e[Am]nough of this[C] ramblin' l[D]ove
[G]Tryin' to set the world on fire
[Cadd9]Turn the key and spark the wire
[Em]Chasin' down a fe[D]elin' runnin' [Cadd9]on desire
[G]The future was an open road
[Cadd9]Gone in a cloud of smoke
[Em]Leavin' a trail of fla[D]mes behind t[Cadd9]hose tires
[Cadd9] [D]
[F]For a w[C]hile t[D]here g[D]irl, we were settin' the world on fire
P[G]ullin' 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
But honey you kn[Am]ow me I'l[C]l always [D]be..
[G]Tryin' to the world on fire
[Cadd9]Turn the key and spark the wire
[Em]Chasin' down a feelin' runnin'[D] on desire[Cadd9]
[G]The future was an open road
[Cadd9]Gone in a cloud of smoke
[Em]Leavin' a trail of fl[D]ames behind these[Cadd9] tires
[Cadd9]See I'm out here girl setti[D]n' the world on fire[G]
[Cadd9] I'm settin' the world on fire[G]
[Cadd9] Yeah, I'm settin' the world on fire[G]
