Chords and lyrics for Playing with Fire by Brandon Flowers (key of C).
Verse 1
The intro goes on for like 3 minutes, these are the chords:
[Em] [C] [D] [Am] [B7]
Daddy[Em] I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
There ain't [C]nothing you can do to change my mind.
I'm not [D]here to know the things I can not do.
We've seen the [Am]outcome of the boys who didn't[B7] fly.
That road [Em]outside that'll you've been taking home forever,
that'll be the [C]same road I take when I depart.
Those charcoal [D]veins that hold this chosen land together,
may twist and [Am]turn but somewhere deep there is a [B7]heart
[Em] Playing with fire.
You know you're going to [C]hurt somebody tonight.
When you're [D] out on a wire,
you know you're[Am] playing with [B7]fire.
Perhaps this [Em]calling is the channel of invention.
I will not [C]blush if others see it as a crime.
However [D]dangerous the road, however [G]distant.
These things won't [Am]compromise the will of the [B7]design.
Ten thousand [Em]demons hammer down with every foot step.
Ten thousand [C]angles rush the wind against my back.
This church of[D] mine may not be recognized by stepol,
But that doesn't [Am]mean that I will walk without a [B7]god.
Rolling river of [D]truth, can you spare me a sip?
The holy fountain of [Em]youth, has been reduced to a drip.
I've got this burning [C]belief,
in salvation in [G]love,
this notion may be [C]naive,
but when push comes to shove,[G]
I will till this [D]ground.
You know you're gonna [C]hurt somebody [G]tonight.[C]
[G] Out on a [D]wire.
[C] I might not get [G]there.
This little [C]town, this little house,
they seem to be [G]leaning in the wrong [Em]direction.[Bm]
[D] I'm not afraid of you no [Em]more.
[Em]Ohhhhhh
[C]Ohhhhhh
[D]Ohhhh
[Am]Ohhhhh
[B7]Ohhhhh (x2)
[Em] Playing with fire.
You know you're going to [C]hurt somebody tonight.
When you're [D] out on a wire,
you know [Am]you're playing with [B7]fire.
[Em]Ohhhhhh
[C]Ohhhhhh
[D]Ohhhh
[Am]Ohhhhh
[B7]Ohhhhh (x2)
[Em]
