Capo 1
Em7
Wildfire on a Harley
D Cadd9
Tatoos in the wind
Em7
Burns like a cigarette
D Cadd9
And I just wanna breathe it in
Em7 D
Alone again tonight
Cadd9
With a dozen I'm Sorrys by my side
Em7 D
Red pink and white
Cadd9
Such a shame to watch them die
Em7 D
One by one I let them fall
Cadd9
Like tear drops in slow motion
Em7 D
He loves me or he loves me not
Cadd9
I'm running out of roses
Em7 D
He's beautiful, dangerous
Cadd9
A storm that never settles
Em7 D Cadd9 *ring out*
And I'm growing tired of picking petals
Em7
I swear he's the devil
D Cadd9
With an angel face
Em7
Got a kiss like poison
D Cadd9
But I love the taste
Em7 D
My hopes get too high
Cadd9
Then crash without a sound
Em7 D
When the clock strikes midnight
Cadd9
And he's nowhere to be found
I watch them hit the ground
Em7 D
One by one I let them fall
Cadd9
Like tear drops in slow motion
Em7 D
He loves me or he loves me not
Cadd9
I'm running out of roses
Em7 D
He's beautiful, dangerous
Cadd9
A storm that never settles
Em7 D Cadd9 *ring out*
And I'm growing tired of picking petals
Em7 D
Knocking at my door
Cadd9
As the last one hits the floor
Em7 D
Knocking at my door
Cadd9
As the last one hits the floor
Em7 D
One by one I let them fall
Cadd9
Like tear drops in slow motion
Em7 D
He loves me or he loves me not
Cadd9
I'm running out of roses
Em7 D
He's beautiful, dangerous
Cadd9
A storm that never settles
Em7 D Cadd9 *ring out*
And I'm growing tired of picking petals
