The Worlds On Fire Guitar Chords by American Aquarium

 [Verse 1]
(Dmaj)                  (Gmaj)                 (Dmaj)
She looked out the window and said, "The world's on fire"
(Dmaj)                         (Gmaj)                     (Amaj)
That's when I laughed and poured her a glass of wine
(Gmaj)                     (Dmaj)
We just stared at the TV
(Gmaj)                   (Dmaj)
tryin' to find some meanin'
(Gmaj)                (Dmaj)                 (Amaj)
Hopin' that we'd wake up from this dream
         (Dmaj)
Sometime tomorrow


[Verse 2]
(Dmaj)                       (Gmaj)           (Dmaj)
Well the night came and went, not a damn thing changed
(Dmaj)                   (Gmaj)                  (Amaj)
That's when I saw a tear fall from her eyes
(Gmaj)                            (Dmaj)
She said, "What are we gonna do?
(Gmaj)                        (Dmaj)
What's this world comin' to?"
(Gmaj)            (Dmaj)                 (Amaj)
For the first time in my whole life
              (Dmaj)
I stood there speechless


[Chorus]
    (Amaj)       (Gmaj)                     (Dmaj)
The load is heavy and the road is long
    F#m        (Gmaj)         (Dmaj)
And we've only begun to fight
(Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)   (Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
(Gmaj)          (Dmaj)               (Amaj)
We must go boldly into the darkness
           (Dmaj)
And be the light


[Verse 3]
(Dmaj)                 (Gmaj)                        (Dmaj)
So I packed up my car and went lookin' for answers
(Dmaj)                (Gmaj)              (Amaj)
To the questions weighin' on my mind
(Gmaj)                        (Dmaj)    (Gmaj)                      (Dmaj)
When did The Land of the Free become The Home of the Afraid?
(Gmaj)             (Dmaj)                    (Amaj)
Afraid of the world, afraid of the truth
               (Dmaj)
Afraid of each other


[Verse 4]
(Dmaj)                  (Gmaj)                             (Dmaj)
And this ain't the country my grandfather fought for
(Dmaj)                 (Gmaj)                (Amaj)
But I still see the hate he fought against
(Gmaj)                (Dmaj)      (Gmaj)                 (Dmaj)
Give rest to the tired, give mercy to the poor
(Gmaj)             (Dmaj)            (Amaj)
Give warmth to the huddled masses
                  (Dmaj)
And I'll show you freedom


[Chorus]
    (Amaj)       (Gmaj)                     (Dmaj)
The load is heavy and the road is long
    F#m        (Gmaj)         (Dmaj)
And we've only begun to fight
(Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)   (Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
(Gmaj)          (Dmaj)               (Amaj)
We must go boldly into the darkness
           (Dmaj)
And be the light


[Verse 5]
(Dmaj)                 (Gmaj)             (Dmaj)
I got a baby girl comin' in the spring
(Dmaj)                     (Gmaj)                  (Amaj)
I'm worried 'bout the world she's comin' into
(Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)      (Gmaj)                      (Dmaj)
But she'll have my fight, she'll have her mama's fire
(Gmaj)                (Dmaj)             (Amaj)
If anyone builds a wall in her journey
                 (Dmaj)
Baby, bust right through


[Chorus]
    (Amaj)       (Gmaj)                     (Dmaj)
The load is heavy and the road is long
    F#m        (Gmaj)         (Dmaj)
And we've only begun to fight
(Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)   (Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
(Gmaj)          (Dmaj)               (Amaj)
We must go boldly into the darkness
           (Dmaj)
And be the light

[Chorus]
     (Amaj)       (Gmaj)                     (Dmaj)
The load is heavy and the road is long
    F#m        (Gmaj)         (Dmaj)
And we've only begun to fight
(Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)   (Gmaj)                  (Dmaj)
We just can't give in, we just can't give up
(Gmaj)          (Dmaj)               (Amaj)
We must go boldly into the darkness
           (Dmaj)
And be the light
