Intro:  / G - - - / Em - - - / C - - - / D - - - /

 

G                                  Em 

  She's just a girl, and she's on fire

C                       D   

  Hotter than a fantasy   lonely like a highway

G                                       Em

  She's living in a world, and it's on fire

C (1/2)          G (1/2)   C (1/2)                    D (1/2)

  Filled with catastrophe     but she knows she can fly away

 

G   Em

Oh      she got both feet on the ground

Bm                        D 

    And she's burning it down

G   Em                          

Oh      she got her head in the clouds

Bm                         D (hold 2)

    But she's not backing down

 

 

G                                  Em 

  Looks like a girl, but she's a flame

C                                   D   

  So bright, she can burn your eyes   Better look the other way

G                                          Em 

  You can try but you'll never forget her name

C (1/2)     G (1/2)         C (1/2)           D (1/2)

  She's on top of the world   Hottest of the hottest girls say

 

G   Em

Oh      we got our feet on the ground

Bm                        D 

    And we're burning it down

G   Em                          

Oh      we got our head in the clouds

Bm                         D (hold 2)

    But we're not backing down

 

Chorus

 

C                                D

  Everybody stands, as she goes by

                                            C

'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes

                                      D (1/2)

Watch her when she's lighting up the night

         G (1/2)           Em

Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl

            Bm

And it's a lonely world

                     C (1/2)     G (1/2)   C (1/2)

But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

 

Outro Chorus:

      D (1/2)    G

This girl is on fire

Em                 Bm

  This girl is on fire

D                   G

  She's walking on fire

Em                 Bm   D

  This girl is on fire

 

   G   Em    C     D

Wo  -  ah  Woah  Woah

   G   Em   Bm     D

Wo  -  ah  Woah  Woah

   G   Em    C     D

Wo  -  ah  Woah  Woah

   G   Em   Bm     D (hold)

Wo  -  ah  Woah 

 

G (ritard)                         Em (hold)

  She's just a girl, and she's on fire
