Chords

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
          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

G
The future was an open road

Cadd9
Gone in a cloud of smoke

Em                  D                  Cadd9
