Intro
E C#m
Verse 1
E
our city isn't perfect
C#m E
our city is a blaze of neon flare does anybody care
E
fractured lines in the pavement
C#m
embers colour the air these streets we named
A E C#..B..E
will never be the same
Chorus
A
this fire, this fire, this fire we let it,

the waste land under our feet we've come to know
A E C#..B..E
will never be enough
Chorus

Bridge
F# C#m
if all we do is blame

let action speak the loudest we'll dance beyond the flames
Chorus
