Song: Girl On Fire
By:   Alicia Keys

[verse: 1] {keys only}
A                                 F#m
She's just a girl, and she's on fire
D                      E    
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
A                                    F#m
She's living in a world, and it's on fire
D             A          D                      E
Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

[pre-chorus:]
A        F#m                        C#m
Oh____,  she got both feet on the ground
                       E  {pause}
And she's burning it down   oh___oh___
A        F#m                        C#m    
Oh____, she got her head in the clouds
                        E  {pause}
And she's not backing down

[chorus:]
                  A {band comes in}
This girl is on fire
F#m               C#m 
This girl is on fire
E                  A
She's walking on fire
F#m              C#m   E {let ring}  {snare hit}
This girl is on fire

[verse: 2]
A                              F#m
Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
D                                
So bright, she can burn your eyes
E                            
  Better look the other way
A                                       F#m
You can try but you'll never forget her name
D         A  
She's on top of the world
D               E
Hottest of the hottest girls say

[pre-chorus: 2]
A      F#m                    C#m
Oh___, we got our feet on the ground
                       E  
And we're burning it down   oh___oh___
A      F#m                   C#m 
Oh___, got our head in the clouds
                       E     {let ring}
And we're not coming down

[chorus:]
                  A {band kicks in}
This girl is on fire
F#m              C#m 
This girl is on fire
E                  A
She's walking on fire
F#m                C#m   E 
This girl is on fire

[bridge:]
D                               E 
  Everybody stands, as she goes by
                                              D
Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
                                       E
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
                             F#m 
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
               C#m 
And it's a lonely world
                    D      A     D         E 
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

[chorus:]
                  A
This girl is on fire
F#m               C#m 
This girl is on fire
E                  A
She's walking on fire
F#m              C#m   E 
This girl is on fire

[coda:]
  A  F#m   D        E  
Oh,       oh,    oh
  A   F#m    C#m    E     
Oh,       oh,    oh
  A   F#m    D         E
Oh,       oh,    oh
  A   F#m    C#m    E  {stop}
Oh,       oh,    oh
{snare hit} {keys}
             A                               F#m
            She's just a girl, and she's on fire
