Chorus:
  G     C                 G
Atlanta burned again last night
    G      G/F#         Em             A                     D 
And all the water in the ocean couldn't put out the fire this time
G              C             G                C
They gave into sin again but Lord, it felt so right
      Am     D                 G
When Atlanta burned again last night

G                           C
She was over thirty, he was barely seventeen
        Am            C            D                   G 
She was in her second marriage, he dated a high school queen
G                                 C
Somehow they came together in the heat of a Georgia night
   Am               C                D              G
He told her that he loved her as she turned out the lights

Chorus

Her son was almost his age but he didn't seem to care
The only thing that mattered was the fever they would share
As she pulled him closer and the moment felt so right
Two strangers turned to lovers on a red hot Georgia night

Chorus


Key change up 1/2 step

G#                      C#
She left in the morning no tears in her eyes
Am#                   C#               D#               G#  
What they shared that lonely night her memory won't let die
G#                           C#
Never stopped to wonder They seemed to understand
   Am#           C#          D#         G#
It made her feel needed, she made him a man

Chorus
  G#    C#                G#
Atlanta burned again last night
    G#                   Fm             A#                    D#
And all the water in the ocean couldn't put out the fire this time
G#             C#            G#               C#
They gave into sin again but Lord, it felt so right
      Am#    D#                G#
When Atlanta burned again last night
