[Verse 1]
I found myself an old trash can
Took it to the yard out back
Pulled out a box of pictures and a match
Looked 'em over one last time
And one-by-one made up my mind
It was the only way that I'd quit looking back
And I slowly drug the red across the black
[Chorus]
I set fire to my old flame
Said goodbye to yesterday
And I know I should pray for rain
But I won't
And if the wind should blow
If I'm no longer in control
If I get choked up on the ashes and the smoke
I'll take the blame for burnin' down Chicago
[Verse 2]
A heart ain't made to throw away
If you see me hesitate
Well, I've come across some moment in the sun
It may look like I'm movin' slow
But once I let this last one go
I'll have to find some comfort in givin' up
'Cause there's no goin' back
What's done is done
[Chorus]
I set fire to my old flame
Said goodbye to yesterday
And I know I should pray for rain
But I won't
And if the wind should blow
If I'm no longer in control
If I get choked up on the ashes and the smoke
I'll take the blame for burnin' down Chicago
[Outro]
If the wind should blow
If I'm no longer in control
If I get choked up on the ashes and the smoke
I'll take the blame for burnin' down Chicago
I'm burnin' down Chicago
