Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
Lookin' [Em]up , s[Am]tarlight,

[Verse 1]
take me there
Yeah, I wanna fly, won't go, bankroll
Wanna feel the rush of the front row
[C]Paycheck, lat[Am]e again
Barely hanging on to the apartment
[C]Doing it my way
[Am]Ain't nothing free about the freeway
[C]But I'm miles off the gro[G]und
[Am]I'm leaving this home [Em]and city to burn
[C]And I watch it go dow[G]n
Ooh, cause that [Am]sun gon'
take me with it, hey
And I'm building a [C]fire, fire, oh
[G]I'm building it [Am]higher, higher, oh
[Em]I'm gonna run this emp[C]ire, higher, oh
[G]And [Am]if it goes out in flames
Then smoke [Em]gonna spell my [C]name[G][Am]
[Em][C][G]
[Am][Em][Am][Em]
Lipstick, [Am]red wine, long nights,
it's a lifestyle
So good, to the last drop,
you could see me light up
from [C]the rooftops
But I'm miles off the [G]ground[Am]
I'm leaving this [Em]home at a city divide
[C]And I watch it go dow[G]n
Ooh, cause that [Am]sun gon' take me with it
Hey
And I'm building a [C]fire, fire
[G]I'm building it hig[Am]her, higher,
[Em]I'm gonna run this emp[C]ire,
[G]higher,
And [Am]if I go down in flames,
the smoke [Em]gonna spell my [C]name.
[G][Am][Em]
[C][G][Am][Em]
An[Am]d I'm building it [Em]up h[C]igher,
higher
[G]I'm building it [Am]higher, higher
[Em]I'm gonna run this emp[C]ire,
empire, [G]oh
And [Am]if I go down in flames
[Em]
