WORLD ON FIRE              SARAH MCLACHLAN

KEY OF G


  -6    -6   7  -5   -5   -5 -5 -5b
Hearts are worn in these dark a-ges 

  -4   -6 -6b -6  -5  -5b -5b -5b   -4 4
You're not a-lone in this sto-ry's pag-es 

  -7   7   7   7    -5
Night has fal-len ‘mongst 

-5b -5b  -5  -5 -5b -6b -5b
the liv-ing and the dy-ing 

 -4  -5b -6 -6b  -5 -5b -5b
And I’ll try to hold it in, 

 -4  -5b  -6 -6b  -5 -5b -5b
yeah I’ll try to hold it in 

[Chorus]

-5b  -6b -6b  7   7
The world is on fire 

 -4   -4  -5b -5b -6b -6b -5b
It's more than I can han-dle 

 -5 -5 -5 -5b -6b -5b
tap in-to the wa-ter

-4 -4 -5b -5b  -5  -5b
I try to bring my share

-6b -6b  7     7
Try to bring more 

  -5  -5 -5 -5b -6b -5b
Bring it to the ta-ble

  -4  -5b -5b -5b -5b 4
Bring what I  am   a-ble

-6  -6   -6  7    7   -5 -5  -5 -5  -5  -5b
I watch the hea-vens for my fin-al call-ing 

  -6  -6b -6 -6b -6b -5b -5b   -5b    -4  4
Some-thing I can do to change what’s com-ing 

 -7    -7   7  7   -5  -5b -5b -5  -6b -5b
Stay close to me while the sky is fall-ing 

-4 -5b   -6 -6 -6b -5 -5b -5
I Don't wan-na be left a-lone, 

 -5b   -6 -6 -6b -5b -5
don't wan-na be  a-lone 

[Chorus]

  -6     7      -6     7
Hearts break, hearts mend

  -5   -5    -5
Love still hurts 

-6  -6     7      -6     7
Vi-sions clash, planes crash 

  -5    -5     -5  -5b
Still there's talk of 

 -7  7    7     -6b  -6b   7
Sav-ing souls, still the cold

-6b -6  -6b -5 -5b -5b
Is clos-ing in  on us 

-4  -6b -6b  -6b -5  -5  -5 -5b -5b
We part the veil on our kill-er sun

  -4   -5b  -5    -5     -5  -5  -5   -5b  -5b
Stray from the straight line on this short run 

-6b -6b -6b   7    -5  -5  -5 -5b -6b
The more we take, the less we be-come 

 -4  -4  -5b -5  -5  -5b  -5b   -5b  -4  -5b
The for-tune of one that means less for some 

[Chorus X2 to end]

ENJOY!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
