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
