Verse 1
Like a city overthro[D]overthrown
We're turning buildings into [F#m]stone
We leave the bodies to the cr[E]crows
On a funeral of [Bm]fire
Now we're choking on the f[D]fumes
Spread the lie and kill the t[F#m]truth
They're in the ashes of the p[E]proof
We watch the flames rise [Bm]higher
Chorus
Our [D]empire
Is on [F#m]fire
Our [E]empire
Is on [Bm]fire
Our empire's on f[D]fire [F#m] [E] [Bm]
Our empire is on f[D]fire[F#m]ire [E] [Bm] [D]
Verse 2
Now we're falling through the i[D]ice
We made our bed and rolled the [F#m]dice
Well every gamble has a [E]price
We watched the cracks grow [Bm]wider
Waves are climbing past your k[D]knees
It's just the coming of the [F#m]seas
It's getting harder now to [E]breathe
We watched the tides rise [Bm]higher
Chorus
Our [D]empire
Is on [F#m]fire
Our [E]empire
Is on [Bm]fire
Our empire's on f[D]fire [F#m] [E] [Bm]
Our empire is on f[D]fire[F#m]ire [E] [Bm]
Bridge
I said I k[D]know you know we feel it in our bones
I said I [F#m]know you know we feel it in our bones
I said I k[E]know you know we feel it in our bones
I said I k[Bm]know, woah oh oh!
[D] [F#m] [E] [Bm]
Chorus
Our [D]empire
Is on [F#m]fire
Our [E]
Is on [Bm]fire
Our empire's on f[D]fire [F#m] [E] [Bm]
Our empire is on f[D]fire[F#m]ire [E] [Bm] [D]
