Playing with Fire Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]One day [G]you'll learn[F]
[C]when [Dm]you get burned
[G]By then it will be too late you ya[Am]
Be too late [G]for ya
[F]When the fire [C]spreads [Dm]and burns,
don't [G]you know?

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am]
[Dm][G][Dm][Am][F][Dm][G]
[Am]

[Verse 2]
He's just [F]a kid off the estate
[Dm]They call him little Jake
Today he tried to buy weed
with his [Am]little mate
Up [G]in the bits, but he's [Am]just a kid
So he was open to ma[F]nipulation
He had to [Dm]un dergo initiation
And when some older [G]boys
saw the situation
They took the piss; now [Dm]look at [Am]this
Little youth [F]beating up his [Dm]only friend
The only one that weren't pretend
And even gave him the
money for the [G]pen
From mice to [A]men and then to rats
But [Dm]only a snake behaves like that
But the [Am]gang don't care for fool
shooting caps
They're just happy that you
fall for the trap

[Verse 3]
Playing with [Am]fire
It doesn't burn
[F]The first time your [Dm]hand
Walked through the [Am]flame
Playing with fire
Bitter and sweet, Oh-no
[F]Scorching Scorching skin [Dm]now
Hell on its way
[Am]Playing with fire
Fire, [G]fire, [F]fire, [C]fir[Dm]e[G]
You're playing with [Am]fire
One [G]day you'll

[Verse 4]
[F]learn [C]when [Dm]you get burned
[G]By then it will be too late for ya[Am]
Be too late [G]for ya
[F]When the fire [C]spreads [Dm]and burns,
don't [G]you know
Playing [Dm]with fire
[Am]He's just a kid,

[Verse 5]
[F]
but he feels like a [Dm]man today
He joined a gang today
Been at a house party [Am]around the way
[Dm]Doing illegal [G]shit,
but he's [Am]just a [Dm]kid
[Am]Still he's in [F]luck today,
he got a [Dm]fuck today
Yeah he bust his very first nut today
[G]In some stupid bitch,
today's moving quick
So [Dm]quick, if you wear the wrong
[Am]shoes you'll slip
Better [F]keep up with the tem[Dm]po,
with a clique
Cause what they on is messed up bruv
[A]An d now that he's [Dm]rolling with these
vexed up [G]thugs
So what's next up [Dm]bruv?
Cause he's gonna [Am]make
it his only mis[F]sion
To better [Dm]his position
In this little gang it's a competi[G]tion
To the little man with a disposition
Ho[Dm]lier than thou,
he was [Am]born a Chris[G]tian
All he [F]worships now is an [Dm]idealism
Wise men will tell you with
age comes wisdom
And you can't be saved [G]by
religion unless you have [Dm]faith
So it [Am]makes no difference to the youths
that are raised in the [A]system
You [Am]don't have age on the side
Or any positive role models in their
lives [A]that provide in[Am]sight
So they ain't going to listen
As for Jake,
he's already made his decision
And [A]now he's just another [Am]poster boy
for David Cameron's Broken Britain

[Verse 6]
Playing with [Am]fire
It doesn't [F]burn
The first time your [Dm]hand
Walked through [Am]the flame
Play[G]ing [F]with fire[C][Dm]
Bit[G]ter and sweet, Oh-no
[Am]Scorching Scorch
[G]ing [F]skin [C]now[Dm]
Hell [G]on its way
Playing with [Am]fire
One [G]day you'll

[Verse 7]
[F]learn [C]when [Dm]you get burned
[G]By then it will be too late for ya[Am]
Be too late [G]for ya
[F]When the fire [C]spreads [Dm]and burns,
don't [G]you know
Playing with fire
