Key: A
Verse 1:
F#m
Just like a runaway train screaming down a one way track
A F#m
All gas and no breaks, leaving town and never looking back
A F#m
It was a hell of a place but I was dreaming up streets of gold
A F#m
Up to my neck in the Rubicon, locked in a stranglehold
Chorus:
D A
The bridges burning may light my way
C#m
And shine on all the right words to say
F#m
But it's raining on my parade
D A
When you look up and you're all alone
C#m
Do you wish you'd never left home
E
And just played it safe
Verse 2:
A F#m
I made a name for myself and got stuck inside of my own skin
A F#m
I'm talking straight jacket, padded room, don't know where to begin
A F#m
Cause when they're getting you down my friend you gotta rattle the cage
A F#m
But you gotta be thoughtful, you gotta channel your rage
Chorus:
D A
The bridges burning may light my way
C#m
And shine on all the right words to say
F#m
But it's raining on my parade
D A
When you look up and you're all alone
C#m
Do you wish you'd never left home
E
And just played it safe

Chorus:

The bridges burning may light my way

When you look up and you're all alone
C#m
Do you wish you'd never left home

And just played it safe
