This is cool song by Gavin DeGraw from his new albom "Something Worth Saving".
Just three cowboy chords over and over.
Capo on 4th fret.
Just improvise with strumming patterns to make it sound brighter.
Have fun!
[Intro]
GEverybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hCanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause NEmew York sky don't get much brighter
ShCe sets, she sets the city on fire
[Verse]
SGomebody told me if I'm not careful
Well, this Cone's gonna roll me
I got my hands full and this Emone's gonna own me and control me
CI'm so mystified
She caught the lGast train last night, left another note
Saying "sCee you next time; miss me if you don't"
You lEmook good in your bed; til we meet again
You went through my hCead and nobody told me so
[Pre-Chorus]
GEverybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hCanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause NEmew York sky don't get much brighter
ShCe sets, she sets the city on fire
[Chorus]
ShGe sets the city on fire
BCurns like a million lighters
I'm going Emup, I couldn't get much higher
ShCe sets, she sets the city on fireG  
[Verse]
NGew scene, next block
She'll be jaywalking right Cacross while the cops talk
Make you feel like a bEmoss when your eyes lock
And you can't stop stCaring endlessly
She got the whGole thing figured out; hits me where it hurts
And I knCow I might be swinging at a curve
EmI don't mind it, though, when the lights are low
She can hit the nCotes wearing my T-shirt
[Pre-Chorus]
GEverybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hCanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause NEmew York sky don't get much brighter
ShCe sets, she sets the city on fire
[Chorus]
ShGe sets the city on fire
BCurns like a million lighters
I'm going Emup, I couldn't get much higher
ShCe sets, she sets the city on fire
[Bridge]
But GI don't know if I'm chCasing ghosts
Put my hEmand in the flame of a flickering lighter
CAgain and again, I was lucky just to find her
But GI don't know if I'm chCasing ghosts
Put my hEmand in the flame of a flickering lighter
CAgain and again, I was lucky
[Pre-Chorus]
GEverybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hCanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause NEmew York sky don't get much brighter
ShCe sets, she sets the city on fire
[Chorus]
ShGe sets the city on fire
BCurns like a million lighters
I'm going Emup, I couldn't get much higher
ShCe sets, she sets the city on fire
I'm going Emup, I couldn't get much higher
ShCe sets, she sets the city on fireG

[Intro]

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten

And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends

Cause New York sky don't get much brighter

She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Verse]

Somebody told me if I'm not careful

Well, this one's gonna roll me

I got my hands full and this one's gonna own me and control me

I'm so mystified

She caught the last train last night, left another note

Saying "see you next time; miss me if you don't"

You look good in your bed; til we meet again

You went through my head and nobody told me so

[Pre-Chorus]

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten

And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends

Cause New York sky don't get much brighter

She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Chorus]

She sets the city on fire

Burns like a million lighters

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher

C G

She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Verse]

New scene, next block

She'll be jaywalking right across while the cops talk

Make you feel like a boss when your eyes lock

And you can't stop staring endlessly

She got the whole thing figured out; hits me where it hurts

And I know I might be swinging at a curve

I don't mind it, though, when the lights are low

She can hit the notes wearing my T-shirt

[Pre-Chorus]

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten

And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends

Cause New York sky don't get much brighter

She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Chorus]

She sets the city on fire

Burns like a million lighters

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher

She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Bridge]

G C

But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts

Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter

Again and again, I was lucky just to find her

G C

But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts

Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter

Again and again, I was lucky

[Pre-Chorus]

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten

And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends

Cause New York sky don't get much brighter

She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Chorus]

She sets the city on fire

Burns like a million lighters

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher

She sets, she sets the city on fire

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher

C G

She sets, she sets the city on fire
