Verse 1:
     Dm              F            Dm          C
Sometimes the best intentions are never truly met
     Dm              F           Dm          C
And all your expectations, are never what you get
       Dm        Am           Dm         Am
You'll never say why, or come up with a reason
             Dm           F         Dm    C          C
You've been weakened by a string of bad decisions

Chorus:
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Verse 2:
           Dm           F
Now you've won and you lost it
     Dm            C
You won't put of a fight
      Dm             F
I can add you to my list of things
     Dm            C
That keep me up at night
           Dm        Am         Dm        Am
You're the saddest story that's ever been told
      Dm             F
And I stare back and watch as
     Dm       C        C
The tragedy unfolds


Chorus:
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down

Verse 3:
         Dm         F
If there ever was a time, it's now
   Dm              C
It might not come again
    Dm                  F       Dm                  C
You have to chose which eyes to look through in the end
    Dm         F           Dm       C
The loveliest flowers will die in a drought
          Dm        F
And your loneliest hours will be
  Dm                  C        C
Worse than you ever thought


Chorus:
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am
Burning bridges, burning 'em down
        Dm                   Am

Why you wanna, why you wanna burn bridges?
                             Dm         Am
Why you wanna, why you wanna burn this bridge?
               Dm         Am
Why you wanna burn this bridge?
               Dm         Am
Why you wanna burn it down?
