[Intro]
B
Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
E
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
G#m
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
E E/F#
She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Verse]
B
Somebody told me if I'm not careful
E
Well, this one's gonna roll me
G#m
I got my hands full and this one's gonna own me and control me
E
I'm so mystified
B
She caught the last train last night, left another note
E
Saying "see you next time; miss me if you don't"
G#m
You look good in your bed; til we meet again
E
You went through my head and nobody told me so

[Pre-Chorus]
B
Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
E
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
G#m
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
E
She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Chorus]
B
She sets the city on fire
E E/F#
Burns like a million lighters
G#m G#m/F#
I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher
E B
She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Verse]
B
New scene, next block
E
She'll be jaywalking right across while the cops talk
G#m
Make you feel like a boss when your eyes lock
E
And you can't stop staring endlessly
B
She got the whole thing figured out; hits me where it hurts
E
And I know I might be swinging at a curve
G#m
I don't mind it, though, when the lights are low
E
She can hit the notes wearing my T-shirt

[Pre-Chorus]

B
Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
E
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
G#m
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
E
She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Chorus]
B
She sets the city on fire
E E/F#
Burns like a million lighters
G#m G#m/F#
I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher
E
She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Bridge]
B E
But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts
G#m
Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter
E
Again and again, I was lucky just to find her
B E
But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts
G#m
Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter
E
Again and again, I was lucky

[Pre-Chorus]
B
Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
E
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
G#m
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
E
She sets, she sets the city on fire

[Chorus]
E
She sets the city on fire
E E/F#
Burns like a million lighters
G#m G#m/F#
I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher
E E/F#
She sets, she sets the city on fire
G#m G#m/F#
I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher
E B
She sets, she sets the city on fire
