C           Em7             D
Go ahead and burn it down
C            Em7              D
I'm drunk and so is everyone else
        D   Em7  C
In this devil town
C                  Em7      D
They won't let me turn around
C               Em7        D
To get one last look at my baby

[Chorus]
      Em7          D
While she's still around

[Verse]
C            Em7               D
Go ahead and build it up again
C             Em7           D     Em7      C
This city's just cemeteries and forgotten men
C        Em7          D
My only hope's to see you
C         Em7     D
And even if I never do

[Chorus]
       Em7        C  Em7  D
While she's still ar-o--und
D                 C   Em7  D
While she's still ar-o--und

[Bridge]
Em7                   G                                  Cadd9
And I know what your thinking, But that won't stop this drinking,
         G           D
It's the least I can do
Em7
Cause this life
                G
Is anything but certain
                          Cadd9
When they close the final curtain
             G              D
You'll get a glimpse of the truth
                    C  Em7  D
Cause you're still ar--o---und

[Chorus]
                  C  Em7  D
While she's still ar-o--und
                  C  Em7  D
While she's still ar-o--und
                  C  Em7  D
While she's still ar-o--und
                   C
While she's still around...

[Verse]
(single strum this for dramatic affect)
C                 D
Go ahead and burn it down
Cadd9                       Em7
I'm drunk and so is everyone else
    Em7     D         C
In this... devil... town
