The Pierces - City On Fire
Capo 6
Amoh oh oh oh (4x) 
AmGo to bed and when it's cool and blue
And we wake up to a city on Efire
AmOne day I'm in love with you 
The next I've lost all my Edesire
FSome say that it's in my head 
They know someone that I Eshould talk to
FAll I know is when you're in my bed
It's Eterrible that I could walk through 
CLaEy FdoEwn, CI'm gonna get this aEll out, Fall over yEou

But sometimes this feels like Eobsession 
FI known you a few months now
But it feels like I've known you fEorever
FWas the one to hunt you down

You've become the othEer women 
FI remember once you said that
You thought that I gave yEou balance
FDon't know why I lost my head 
EMaybe it's cause you're a child

The Pierces - City On Fire

Capo 6

oh oh oh oh (4x)

Go to bed and when it's cool and blue

And we wake up to a city on fire

One day I'm in love with you

The next I've lost all my desire

Some say that it's in my head

They know someone that I should talk to

All I know is when you're in my bed

It's terrible that I could walk through

C E F E C E F E

Lay down, I'm gonna get this all out, all over you

C E F E Am E F E

Stay down, I hope that you don't mind being used

Am E Am E

, ,

Oh Oh

I can see now what's your game

You keep me won and keep me guessing

Don't know what you've heard or seen

But sometimes this feels like obsession

I known you a few months now

But it feels like I've known you forever

Was the one to hunt you down

Cause I feel like this next to never

C E F E C E F E

Lay down, I'm gonna get this all out, all over you

C E F E Am E F E

Stay down, I hope that you don't mind being used

Am E Am E

, ,

Oh Oh

Shake me

But you can't make me

Do what I don't want to

It's human nature

Am E

Promise, it's what you wanted

F E

This is your future, with me

Am E F E

If you wanted something less,

Then why are you here every morning?

Now I know I must confess that

You've become the other women

I remember once you said that

You thought that I gave you balance

Don't know why I lost my head

Maybe it's cause you're a child

C E F E C E F E

Lay down, I'm gonna get this all out, all over you

C E F E Am E F E

Stay down, I hope that you don't mind being used

C E F E C E F E

So Lay down, I'm gonna get this all out, all over you

Stay down, I hope that you don't mind being used
