Intro
[E] [C#m]
Verse 1
[E]our city isn't perfect
our city is a blaze of neon [C#m]flare does anybody ca[E]re
[E]fractured lines in the pavement
embers colour the air these streets we [C#m]named
A E C#..B..E
will never be the same
Chorus
[A]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[E]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[A]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it [E]all burn
[C#m]this fire, this fire, t[A]his fire we let it,
[E]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[C#m]this fire, this fire, t[A]his fire we let it a[E]ll burn
Verse 2
[E]people fall into silence
the wind she whistles a song of [C#m]hopelessness
that carries like a h[E]ymn
[E]our city is a burden
the waste land under our feet we've come to [C#m]know
A E C#..B..E
will never be enough
Chorus
[A]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[E]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[A]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it [E]all burn
[C#m]this fire, this fire, t[A]his fire we let it,
[E]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[C#m]this fire, this fire, t[A]his fire we let it a[E]ll burn
Bridge
[F#]if all we do is [C#m]blame
and no one cares to [F#]listen there?s nothing left to [E]say
[F#]But if we stake our [C#m]claim
A E C#..B..E
let action speak the loudest we'll dance beyond the flames
Chorus
[A]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[E]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[A]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it [E]all burn
[C#m]this fire, this fire, t[A]his fire we let it,
[E]this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,
[C#m]this fire, this fire, t[A]his fire we let it a[E]ll burn
