[Opening]
[C]Lips meet teeth and [F]tongue
My heart [Am]skips eight beats at [F]once
If [C]we were meant to [G]be, we would have [F]been by now
[Am]See what you wanna [G]see, but all I see is [F]him right now

[chorus]
I’ll sit and [C]watch your car [F]burn
With the fire that you [Am]started in [Em]me
But you never came [F]back to ask it out
Go ahead and [C]watch my heart [F]burn
With the fire that you [Am]started in [Em]me
But I’ll never let you [F]back to put it [C]out

[section 2]
[C]Your love feels so [F]fake
And my [Am]demands aren’t high to [F]make
If [C]I could get to [G]sleep, I would have [F]slept by now
Your [Am]lies will never [G]keep,
I think you need to [F]blow ’em out

[chorus]
I’ll sit and [C]watch your car [F]burn
With the fire that you [Am]started in [Em]me
But you never came [F]back to ask it out
Go ahead and [C]watch my heart [F]burn
With the fire that you [Am]started in [Em]me
But I’ll never let you [F]back to put it out

[section 3]
[Dm] [Am] [G] [Dm] [Am] [G]
When you call my [Dm] [Am]name
Do you think I’ll come [G]running?
You never did the [Dm] [Am]same
So good at giving me [G]nothing
When you close your [F]eyes, do you picture me?
When you [F]fantasize, am I your fantasy?
Now you [F]know, now I’m [F]free

[chorus]
I’ll sit and [C]watch your car [F]burn
With the fire that you [Am]started in [Em]me
But you never came [F]back to ask it out
[N.C.]Watch my heart [F]burn
With the fire that you [Am]started in [Em]me
But I’ll never let you [F]back to put it out

[Closing]
[C]Woo, Woo, [F]Woo
[Am]Never let you [Em] [F]burn
[C]Let you burn, [F]let you burn
[Am]Never gonna let you [Em]burn
Let you [F]burn
