Intro:
G+G E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G
Verse:
G+G
That deep whining sound
C majorC D MajorD
Is a lust for this town
G+G C majorC D MajorD
And the sleaze all around is poetic
G+G
Those multi-coloured lights
C majorC D MajorD
That shine through the night
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Reveal all that's poor and pathetic
G+G
Beneath all that fire
C majorC D MajorD
Is a heartfelt desire
G+G C majorC D MajorD
To douse the whole city in petrol
G+G
But I'd probably set camp
C majorC D MajorD
And the matches be damp
G+G C majorC D MajorD
And I wouldn't get to see the inferno
G+G A augmentedA BB C majorC BB A augmentedA
Oh no!
G+G A augmentedA BB C majorC D MajorD
Oh no!
Chorus:
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Flames, look much brighter
G+G E minorEm
Than the cold, hard things
C majorC D MajorD
That are given you
G+G E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Pass the lighter...
Verse:
G+G
Slowly coming 'round
C majorC D MajorD
To the drabness of the town
G+G C majorC D MajorD
But spurred on by fear of anonymity
G+G
I've seen it all before
C majorC D MajorD
People always ignore
G+G C majorC D MajorD
What the police didn't see in the vicinity
G+G
It's a family trait
C majorC D MajorD
Fire runs in my veins
G+G C majorC D MajorD
But as a person doesn't make me any lesser
G+G
Seeing the ashes
C majorC D MajorD
The heat and the flashes
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Those things aren't done by any hairdresser
G+G A augmentedA BB C majorC BB A augmentedA
Oh no!
G+G A augmentedA BB C majorC D MajorD
Oh no!
Chorus:
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Flames, look much brighter
G+G E minorEm
Than the cold, hard things
C majorC D MajorD
That are given you
G+G E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G G+G E minorEm D MajorD
Pass the lighter...
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Burn down the schools!
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
(But) It's no substitute for truths
Solo:
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G x4
Chorus:
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Flames, look much brighter

Than the cold, hard things

That are given you
Bridge:
G+G
(Oh) got to sleep through the day
G+G
To keep all my thoughts at bay
G+G
Got to sleep through the day
G+G
Sleep through the day
Chorus:
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Flames, look much brighter
G+G E minorEm
Than the cold, hard things
C majorC D MajorD
That are given you
G+G E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G
Pass the lighter...
