Burn Down This City

G Am Em C Am Em G Am Em I find myself darling, all messed up C Am Em The phone’s gone silent, and they’ve hung up G Am Em My love is fading so far away C Am G And they said that all I can do is pray C But I would burn down this city G To keep you from the cold C And I would chase back the shadows Em That are slowly taking hold C I would run to the mountain G And scream into the storm C And push it back down forever Em So hold on G Am Em The miles inch by on idle tides C Am Em Each second cuts like a thousand knives G Am Em I’m living lifetimes in every hour C Am G And growing famished on my willpower C But I would burn down this city G To keep you from the cold C And I would chase back the shadows Em That are slowly taking hold C I would run to the mountain G And scream into the storm C And push it back down forever Em So hold on, hold on D B7 So pray for me and I'll grow stronger by the mile Em C I'll run a thousand years and never tire C D Just turn your face to the sky, call out my name B7 And I will burn across the night like I'm on fire G Am Em Now through infirmary doors I’ve burst C Am Em Each face is haggard, each glance is cursed G Am Em And I see those monsters won’t set you free C G Well wait til they get a load of me C Cause I would burn down this city G To keep you from the cold C And I would chase back the shadows Em That are slowly taking hold D C I would run to the mountain G And scream into the storm C And push it back down forever Em So hold on C Oh I would burn down this city G To keep you from the cold C And I would chase back the shadows Em That are slowly taking hold D C I would run to the mountain G And scream into the storm C And push it back down forever Em So hold on
