[Verse 1]
 
(Am)           Em   Dm               F    G
Home in the valley,    Home in the city
Am                Em   Dm                    F    Em7
   Home isn’t pretty,     Ain’t no home for me
Am                 Em   Dm                 F    G
   Home in the darkness,   Home on the highway
Am               Em   Dm                  F    Em7
   Home isn’t my way,    Home I’ll never be
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am G Am      G     F     G G
     Burn out the day
Am G Am      G     F     G G
     Burn out the night
C                                     F              G G
  I can’t see no reason to put up a fight
C     C/B        Am         G         Dm     Em F    G G
  I’m living for givin’ the devil his due
 
Am G   Am      G            F            G        Am G Am   G F   G G
   And I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for you
Am G Am      G            F            G       F  (riff x2)
     I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for you

Time is the essence,    Time is the season
Am                  Em   Dm                 F    Em7
   Time ain’t no reason,    Got no time to slow
Am            Em    Dm              F    G
   Time everlasting,   Time to play b-sides
Am                 Em    Dm                   F    Em7
   Time ain’t on my side,   Time I’ll never know

  I’m not the one to tell you what’s wrong or what’s right
C           C/B            Am           G               Dm       Em F    G G
  I’ve seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
 
Am G   Am      G            F            G        Am G Am   G F   G G
   But I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for you

Nice. But that Cm7 I believe should be a G/B instead

Instead of going Am, G, Am in the chorus, I found it better sounding and easier to go with Am, empty strum, Am. Ofcourse depends where you play the cords but i play Am from x02210
