Intro:
C C/B Am Am/G C C/B Am  Am/G


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

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


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


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