G# D#m
I keep watching the world
G# D#m
Chase their circles in their places
G# D#m G# D#m
Joining the race inside a maze
G# D#m
Look ’round, are you one of them?
G# D#m
Yeah, see how they can all see
G# D#m
Pointless and worry
G# D#m
So down to hurry
Chorus:
G# D#m
The world could be on fire
D#m
And we wouldn’t know
G# D#m
The temperature is rising
D#m
And no one knows
G# F#
We’ll hide behind the money
F#
That’s the way it goes
G# F#
The world could be on fire
F#
And we wouldn’t know
Verse 2:
G# D#m
Complaining about the same things
G# D#m
Not watching where we’re going
G# D#m
Ending up 50
G# D#m
Somehow with nothing
G# D#m
Oh, don’t listen to what they say
G# D#m
I admit I know that I have
G# D#m
Don’t be the same
G# D#m
Don’t be the same
Chorus:
G# D#m
The world could be on fire
D#m
And we wouldn’t know
G# D#m
The temperature is rising
D#m
And no one knows
G# F#
We’ll hide behind the money
F#
That’s the way it goes
G# F#
The world could be on fire
F#
And we wouldn’t know
Bridge:
G# D#m G#
And so it goes another day here
D#m
Passing by
G# D#m G#
I saw it waving from the window
D#m
Could you save me?
G# D#m G#
Keep taking time, taking your time
D#m
But there’s no time left
G# D#m G#
Listen for it’s almost over
D#m
Yeah
Chorus:
G# D#m
The world could be on fire
D#m
And we wouldn’t know
G# D#m
The temperature is rising
D#m
And no one knows
G# F#
We’ll hide behind the money
F#
That’s the way it goes
G# F#
The world could be on fire
F#
And we wouldn’t know
