Verse:
A minorAm        G+G      FF        C majorC
Yesterday she thanked me for oiling the front door
   DmDm        C majorC         FF      G+G
This morning when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore
A minorAm          G+G         FF        C majorC
She'll never know how much I cared, just that I couldn't stay
     DmDm       C majorC      FF      G+G
And I'll never know the reason why I always run away.

Chorus:
    A minorAm    FF  G+G C majorC
Burning bridges, one by one.
     A minorAm     FF G+G C majorC
What I'm doing can't be undone
    A minorAm      G+G         FF         C majorC
And I'm always hoping someday, I'm gonna stop this running 'round
   DmDm             C majorC  FF  DmDm G+G      C majorC
But every time the chance comes up, another bridge goes down


Verse:
A minorAm           G+G        FF        C majorC
Last night we talked of old times, and families and hometowns
  DmDm        C majorC       FF         G+G
She wondered if we'd both agree on where we'd settle down
A minorAm            G+G           FF     C majorC
And I told her that we'd cross that bridge whenever it arrives
  DmDm      C majorC              FF      G+G
But now I see her through the flames standing on the other side


Chorus:
   A minorAm
Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow
    DmDm                G+G
Knowing that the day my lesson's finally learned.
    A minorAm             A minorAm
I'll be standing at a river staring out across tomorrow
    A minorAm                    DmDm      G+G
And the bridge I'll need to get there, will be a bridge that I have burned
