INTRO: B VERSE: B Everybody knows she's a perfect ten E (And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends) Abm Cause New York sky don't get much brighter E She sets, she sets the city on fire...! VERSE: B Somebody told me if I'm not careful E Well, this one's gonna roll me Abm I got my hands full and this one's gonna own me and control me E
(I'm so mystified...) B She caught the last train last night, left another note E Saying "see you next time; miss me if you don't" Abm You look good in your bed; til we meet again E You went through my head and nobody told me so CHORUS: B Everybody knows she's a perfect ten E And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends Abm Cause New York sky don't get much brighter E She sets, she sets the city on fire B She sets the city on fire E Burns like a million lighters Abm I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher E She sets, she sets the city on fire VERSE: B New scene, next block E She'll be jaywalking right across while the cops talk Abm Make you feel like a boss when your eyes lock E And you can't stop staring endlessly B She got the whole thing figured out; hits me where it hurts E And I know I might be swinging at a curve Abm I don't mind it, though, when the lights are low E She can hit the notes wearing my T-shirt CHORUS: B Everybody knows she's a perfect ten E And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends Abm Cause New York sky don't get much brighter E She sets, she sets the city on fire B She sets the city on fire E Burns like a million lighters Abm I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher E She sets, she sets the city on fire BRIDGE: B E But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts Abm Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter E Again and again, I was lucky just to find her B E But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts Abm Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter E Again and again, I was lucky... CHORUS: B Everybody knows she's a perfect ten E And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends Abm Cause New York sky don't get much brighter E She sets, she sets the city on fire B She sets the city on fire E Burns like a million lighters Abm I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher E She sets, she sets the city on fire OUTRO: Abm I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher E B (She sets, she sets the city on fire...)
