G                                       Am Em
Looking for an exit in this world of fear
                                   G
I can see the path that leads a way
                                    Am Em
Mama never left and daddy needs me here
I wish the wind would carry a change

Looking through the window to a world of dreams
I can see my future slip away
Honey, you won't get there if you dont believe
I wish the wind would carry a change

           C                  Em
I've had enough, I'm standing up
Bm                Em
I need, I need a change
           C                 Em
I've had enough, of chasing love
D                 D#dim
I need, I need a change

Chorus:
             G           Am          Em
I'm setting fire to the life that I know
              G         Am            Em
Lets start a fire everywhere that we go
G           Am   C           Bm
We started fires, we started fires
         Em          Bm      C
'Til our lives were burning gold
         Em          Bm      C
'Til our lives were burning gold

Looking for my ticket to a higher place
I can see my chance begin to fade
One step forward and two back again
I wish the wind would carry a change

I've had enough, I'm standing up
I need, I need a change
I've had enough of chasing luck
I need, I need a change

Chorus:
I'm setting fire to the life that I know
Lets start a fire everywhere that we go
We're starting fires, we're starting fires
Until our lives are burning gold
Until our lives are burning gold

Looking back I see I had the flame in me
I'm the wind that's carrying change
I've had enough of chasing luck
I need, I need a change

I'm setting fire to the life that I know
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go
We're starting fires, we're starting fires
Until our lives are burning gold
I'm setting fire to the life that I know
Let's start a fire everywhere that we go
We're starting fires, we're starting fires
Until our lives are burning gold
Until our lives are burning gold
