Burn the Boats

Intro:

A D

Verse 1:
A                           D
Are the redwood trees, ever in your dreams?
A                                        D
Are the branches twistin' higher in your mind?
            A                             D
You hear an angel choir, under cathedral spires?
         F#m                                   D                E
Do you remember how the world lit up when we crossed that borderline?
            D
And do you ever miss that fragile sun
      D
The way you felt when there was no turning back?

Chorus:
A    F#m     D           E
Somehow, I know you'll ride with me again
A            F#m    D              E
When you come round, I'll meet you where the sky begins
   F#m     A   D                         Bm
And right now, if you're longin' for the smoke
                       A
Barely clingin' to the ropes
       E          A
Light a match & burn the boats

[Interlude]

Verse 2:
         A                         D
Like a statue stands, above the ancient sand
         A                               D
You can't bury all the fire inside of you
            A                          D
Seems everywhere you've been, glows beneath your skin
       F#m                                 D            E
Like you're covered up from head to toe in invisible tattoos
         D
I never want to force your hand
   D                  E
I think you know that time is runnin' down

Chorus:
A    F#m     D           E
Somehow, I know you'll ride with me again
A            F#m    D              E
When you come round, I'll meet you where the sky begins
   F#m     A   D                         Bm
And right now, if you're longin' for the smoke
                       A
Barely clingin' to the ropes
        E                   D
Light a match & burn the boats

Bridge:
A            E          D
There is no secret harbor
A            E        D
There is no perfect armor
      D#       Dm       E         A
If we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall

Chorus:
A    F#m     D           E
Somehow, I know you'll ride with me again
A            F#m    D              E
When you come round, I'll meet you where the sky begins
   F#m     A   D                         Bm
And right now, if you're longin' for the smoke
                       A
Barely clingin' to the ropes
        E                   A   D
Light a match & burn the boats
        A         D
Light a match
       A
& burn the boats
