The Paper Kites – Junes Stolen Car (Guitar)

D
June had dark eyes

D         C
She was a maker of the rain

C   G
One side of her wild

G         C
The other still like the plains

C       D
She had smoke on her breath

D     C
And a light on her face

C         G
That said I don't want to be

G          D
A stone no more

D
Well the full moon was high

D       C
Hanging clear the air was sweet

C       G
And the road was full of promise

G        C
Like the wheels at her feet

C      D
So she stole that old Mustang

D       C
Took it round to her boyfriends

C        G
And said I know a place

G      D
We can go

D      A
It's a long, long ride

A      C
To the next town boy

C      A                       G
If you want to start something new

A
Give me just a little

A   C
And I'll give it back to you

D    C           G       D       C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

D    C           G       D       C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

C         D
Well they drove all night

D      C
Into a pale pink dawn

C          G
Across the great salt plains

G           C
Through the eye of the storm

C          D
Across the rivers and the deserts

D       C
And the great divide

C       G
Fast as lightning

G             D
On a midnight mile

D
And they snuck into the back streets

D    C
Of a backwater town

C        G
And they idled at the gas station

C
Nobody round

C          D
But then a voice came loud

D      C
Saying hands in the air

C        G
Turn the engine off

G        D
And step outside

D      A
It's a long, long ride

A      C
To the next town boy

C      A                       G
If you want to start something new

A
Give me just a little

A   C
And I'll give it back to you

D    C           G       D       C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

D    C           G       D       C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

C
Yeah!

C         D
Well they raced through the night

D        C
June was mad as a loon

C       G
And she laughed like thunder

G       C
And she howled at the moon

C         D
They flew across the interstate

C
Running from the law

C        G                      D
She said now I ain't a stone no more

D
And the road was black and slick

D    C
Like oil across the lake

C        G
And they overshot a corner

C
Smashed right through the gate

C        D
And they leapt into the sky

D        C
And they floated off the ground

D        G
And they steered towards the heavens

G        C
And they still ain't come back down

D    C           G       D       C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

D    C           G       D       C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

D    C           G       D       C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

D    C           G       D       C
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
