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. Use the Cadd9 variation that looks like a G chord
Intro:  G   Cadd9   G  Cadd9  
Well that Gbig red sun was sinkin' slow
That rising had a haunting glow
I could see those heat waves rising off the gCadd9round
We were Gsittin'on go at that old stop sign
Headlights shinin' on the county line
It was do or die, had to get out of that Cadd9town
Well honey, yoAmu said run
We wCere so youDng
TrGyin' to the world on fire
Cadd9Turn the key and spark the wire
EmChasin' down a feelin' Drunnin' oCadd9n desire
The fuGture was an open road
Cadd9Gone in a cloud of smoke
EmLeavin' a trail of flDames behind those Cadd9tires
Cadd9Just you and me girl, seDttin' the world on Gfire
          Cadd9Yeah, we were settin' the world on GfireCadd9  
We were Gblazin' down the road like Kerouac
No time to stop and cover our tracks
We were too damn hot for any one town to Cadd9hold
Yeah, Gwe burned through a few good years
Then you started looking back in that rear view mirror
Right outside of Reno the trail got Cadd9cold
You said you'd hAmad enough of this Cramblin' lDove
GTryin' to set the world on fire
Cadd9Turn the key and spark the wire
EmChasin' down a feelin' Drunnin' on Cadd9desire
The Gfuture was an open road
Cadd9Gone in a cloud of smoke
EmLeavin' a trail of Dflames behind those Cadd9tires
Cadd9For a while there girl, we were sDettin' the world on FfireC  D  D  
GPullin' on a lucky strike 'bout to head west
Ridin' off into God's sunset
It's times like this a always think of Cadd9you
But honey Amyou know me I'll Calways Dbe..
GTryin' to the world on fire
Cadd9Turn the key and spark the wire
EmChasin' down a feelin' Drunnin' on Cadd9desire
GThe future was an open road
Cadd9Gone in a cloud of smoke
EmLeavin' a trail of fDlames behind these Cadd9tires
Cadd9See I'm out here girl sDettin' the world on fiGre
