Hey, Cage The Elephant fans! A new single from the upcoming album came out a few days ago!
I personally really enjoy and I searched up the chords to it! And as I guess I'm not the only one who'd
like to sing it along with their guitar I share it with y'all! Have fun, guys! :D

Chords after the bass line:
Em B
[Verse]
Em B
Oh, my precious ember burning, my sweet glowing light
C B
From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were mine
Em B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
C B
And the echo of my mother's words, baby don't you play with fire
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
I was always playing the part
Em D
First love only set by a spark
Em D B
There was no way changing my mind
[Chorus]
(B) Em C
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
D B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
Em C
No turning back, nowhere to run
D B
Nowhere to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em C D B
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
Em C D
But oh my God, is this real, no more time
B
It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
[Intro bass line]
[Verse]
Em B
I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
C B
Forced to watch the ashes floating, softly drifting to the ground
Em B
Deep down we both knew it was trouble by design
C B
And the echo of my mother's words, baby don't you play with fire
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D
I was always playing the part
Em D
First love only set by a spark
Em D B
There was no way changing my mind
[Chorus]
(B) Em C
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
D B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
Em C
No turning back, nowhere to run
D B
Nowhere to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em C D B
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
Em C D
But oh my God, is this real, no more time
B
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
[Solo]
Em C D B x2
[Bridge]
C D B C
After all the dust has settled we can settle down
C D B C
Just the two of us forever, no one else around
B C
No one else around
B
around
[Chorus]
(B) Em C
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
D B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
Em C
No turning back, nowhere to run
D B
Nowhere to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em C D B
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
Em C D
But oh my God, no escape, no more time
B
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
