              verse 1 
C 
Friend, old friend, it's 4:00am 
   F                              C 
What are we doing in the street? 
C 
I don't want to buy fried chicken 
F                                C 
I wish that I was going to sleep 
C 
And I don't want to kiss you 
     F                                C 
Underneath that flashing sign 
C 
What's the hurry? We're not ready 
F 
We've got plenty of time 
 
 
Chorus 
C 
Maybe you will get married 
 
Maybe fall in love 
                   F 
Could you make me fall asleep 
 
When you're holding me? 
                   Am 
Try settin' me on fire 
                  G 
Try settin' me on fire 
                   C 
Try settin' me on 
 
 
verse 2 
C 
There's someone else but I twist all of 
      F                        C 
His words and he twists mine 
C 
So I'll have to let him go 
               F                    C 
We sometimes fit, but we always lie 
C 
And he thinks we could make it work 
     F                    C 
But only when he's drunk 
                     Am 
You think you could help me swim 
      F 
But I've already sunk 
 
 
Chorus 
                     C 
So maybe you'll get married 
 
Maybe fall in love 
                         F 
'Cause you can't fall asleep 
 
When you're not holding me 
               Am 
Go get set on fire 
               G 
Go get set on fire 
                C 
Go get set on... 
 
 
Bridge 
                 C 
Friend, I am a slow, slow mover 
                 F 
Friend, I am a slow, slow girl 
               Em 
Trying to be kind, kind, kinder 
              F         G 
Crawling in another world 
 
 
Chorus 
                             C 
And maybe one day we'll get married 
 
Maybe fall in love 
                        F 
Could you make me fall asleep 
 
When you're holding me? 
                    Am 
Try settin' me on fire 
                   G 
Try settin' me on fire 
                   F 
Try settin' me on fire 
                    G 
Try settin' me on fire 
                   Am 
Try settin' me on fire 
                    G 
Try settin' me on fire 
                     C 
Try settin' me on...
