      C               G          F
Yeah we got drunk on la cienega boulevard
        C           G                       F
Taking pictures of people we thought were stars
     C        G               F
It's easy to give in to your heart
            C       G          F
When your drunk on la cienega boulevard
C
When the song coming out of the speakers
F
Was the band that you had on your t-shirt
C
We were screaming cause all of the streets were
F
empty and you kissed me

Chorus:
            C       G                 F
And we were up all night and we were feeling so good
         C            G               F
Yeah we got a little higher than we probably should
              C     G              F
We were in a hotel singing in the hallway lights
           C          G                        F
We were striking the matches right down to the ashes
             C        F
Setting the world on fire
             C        F
Setting the world on fire

Wrote I love you in lipstick on the mirror
We were shoutin' out the window,
like they could hear us at the pier
Said "Do you think we’ll live forever?"
As we killed another beer
And you wrote I love you in lipstick on the mirror
We were laughin' until we were breathless
Never felt anything so reckless, we were
all lit up and restless
And comin' alive and we were…

Chorus

Oh, yeah, yeah

Chorus:
Yeah, we were up all night and we were feelin'
so good
Yeah, we got a little higher than we probably should
We were in a hotel singin' in the hallway lights
We were strikin' the matches right down to the ashes
Setting the world on fire,
setting the world on fire

World all on fire
We were setting
The world all on fire
We were setting
The world all on fire
World all on fire
