VERSE 1
Am           G   F    C   Dm
 He's just a kid, off the estate
Dm
They call him little Jake
                      E5
Today he tried to buy weed with his little mate
   G                     Am
Up in the bits, but he's just a kid
Am         G       F
 So he was open to manipulation
C         Dm      G
He had to undergo initiation
Dm   G
And when some older boys saw the situation
                        Am
They took the piss; now look at this
       G    F                   C
Little yout beating up his only friend
Dm
 The only one that weren't pretend
A5                    G
And even gave him the money for the peng
Am
From mice to men and then to rats
Am
But only a snake behaves like that
Am
But the gang don't care if he falls through the gaps
Am
They're just happy that you fall for the trap
 
HOOK
Am
 Playing with fire
Am              F                         Dm
 It doesn't burn the first time your hands walk through the flame
Am
 Playing with fire
Am
 Bitter and sweet, whoa no
F                   Dm
 Scorching skin now, hell on its way
Am      G    F   C
Playing with fire
Dm    G
 Fire, fire, you're playing with fire
 
BRIDGE
Am        G      F            C            Dm
 One day, you'll learn (Fire) when you get burned (Fire)
G
 By then it will be too late for ya (Fire)
Am           G
 Be too late for ya (Fire)
F             C           Dm                  G
When the fire spreads and burns (Fire), don't you know? Playing with fire
 
VERSE 2
Am          G    F                      C   Dm
 He's just a kid, but he feels like the man today
Dm
He joined a gang today
Dm              A5
Been at a house party around the way
       G                    Am
Doing illegal shit but he's just a kid
      G       F                    C    Dm
Still he's in luck today, he got a fuck today
Dm                                 G
Yeah, he bust his very first nut today
G
In some stupid bitch, today's moving quick
   Am                                         G
So quick, if you wear the wrong shoes, you'll slip
       F                C            Dm
Better keep up with the tempo of the clique
Dm
'Cause what they on is messed up, bruv
                  A5
And now that he's rolling with these vexed up thugs
G
So what's next up, bruv?
Am                            G    F
'Cause he's gonna make it his only mission
          C     Dm
To better his position
                              G
In this little gang it's a competition
G
To the little man with a disposition
Am                               G
 Holier than thou, he was born a Christian
       F               C
All he worships now is an idealism
Dm
 Wise men will tell you with age comes wisdom
A5                          G
And you can't be saved by religion unless you have faith
Am
So it makes no difference to the youths that are raised in the system
Am
You don't have age on your side
Am
Or any positive role models in their lives that provide insight
Am
So they ain't gonna listen
Am
As for Jake, he's already made his decision
Am
And now he's just another poster boy for David Cameron's Broken Britain
 
HOOK

 Playing with fire
C  Dm      G

 Scorching skin now,     hell on its way
