Playing With Fire Brandon Flowers
I'm predicting this is going to be my favorite song on his album.
Listen to the song for the picking pattern.
Bar chords sound best, to me.
Also, the lyrics a bit sketch...
The intro goes on for like 3 minutes, these are the chords:
[Em] [C] [D] [Am] [B7]
[Em]Daddy I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
[C]There ain't nothing you can do to change my mind.
I'm not here t[D]o know the things I can not do.
We've seen the ou[Am]tcome of the boys who didn't[B7] fly.
That road outs[Em]ide that'll you've been taking home forever,
that'll be the sa[C]me road I take when I depart.
Those charcoal v[D]eins that hold this chosen land together,
may twist and [Am]turn but somewhere deep there is a hea[B7]rt
[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 play[Am]ing with[B7] fire.
perhaps this c[Em]alling is the channel of invention.
I will not blu[C]sh if others see it as a crime.
However da[D]ngerous the road, however 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 a[C]ngles rush the wind against my back.
This church of[D] mine may not be recognized by stepol,
that doesn't [Am]mean that I will walk without a g[B7]od.
rolling river of truth[Em], can you spare me a sip?
The holy fountain of yo[Am]uth, has been reduced to a drip.
I've got this burning be[C]lief,
in salvation in l[G]ove,
this notion may be naive,
but [C]when push comes to shove,[G]
I will till this gro[D]und.
You know you're gonna hurt[C] somebody tonight.[G] [C]
[G] Out on a [D]wire.
[C] I might not get th[G]ere.
This little tow[C]n, this little house,
they seem to be le[G]aning in the wrong directi[Em]on.[Em]
[D] I'm not afraid of you no m[Em]ore.
[Em]Ohhhhhh
[C]Ohhhhhh
[D]Ohhhh
[Am]Ohhhhh
[B7]Ohhhhh (2x)
[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 play[Am]ing with[B7] fire.
[Em]Ohhhhhh
[C]Ohhhhhh
[D]Ohhhh
[Am]Ohhhhh
[B7]Ohhhhh
End on Em
