Settin The World On Fire chords by Jake Owen

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
