(Non Capo)

(Intro.)
|(Em) / (C) / |(G) - - -

(Chorus)
They say (Em)don't go burning (C)bridges
'Cause you (G)won't find your way back
(Em)Don't go taking (C)chances
'Cause you (G)might end up off (D)track
I've been (Em)down the road less (C)traveled
Straight and (G)narrow, every turn (D)
(Am) Some bridges are meant to build, but
(C) Some bridges are meant to burn

(Instrumental)
|(G) / (C) / |(Em) / (D) / |(G) / (C) / |(Em) / (D) / |

(Verse 1)
(Em)I (C) (G) gave every (D)piece of me
And (Em)tried (C) (G) most days to (D)be unseen
(Am)Stripped away my (G)dignity
(D/F#)Won't return to (Em)used to be
It's (Am)time for me to (C)breathe (D)

(Chorus)
They say (Em)don't go burning (C)bridges
'Cause you (G)won't find your way back
(Em)Don't go taking (C)chances
'Cause you (G)might end up off (D)track
I've been (Em)down the road less (C)traveled
Straight and (G)narrow, every turn (D)
(Am) Some bridges are meant to build, but
(C) Some bridges are (D)meant to burn (G) / (C) / (Em) / (D)

(Verse 2)
(Em)Oh, oh, (C)oh, oh, oh
(G) Why was I so (D)scared to be a-(Em)lone (C)
(G) Now I'm (D)standing on my (Am)own (G)
(D/F#)Holding the (Em)matches in my (Am) hand
Here's my (C) chance (D)

(Chorus)
They say (Em)don't go burning (C)bridges
'Cause you (G)won't find your way back
(Em)Don't go taking (C)chances
'Cause you (G)might end up off (D)track
I've been (Em)down the road less (C)traveled
Straight and nar-(GS)row, every (D)turn
(Am) Some bridges are meant to build, but
(C) Some bridges are (D)meant to burn (G)

(Bridge)
(Em) Nah nah nah (D)nah nah nah
(G) Nah nah nah (C)nah nah nah
(Em) Hey hey (D)
(G) Walk away from (C)all that tragic
(Em) Leaving ashes (D)on the ground
(G) Yesterday, well (C)you can have it
(Em) 'Cause I'm not (D)turning around

(Outro.)
Been (Em)down the road less (C)traveled
Straight and nar-(G)row every turn (D)
(Em) Some bridges to build (C)
(Am) Some bridges are meant to build, but
(C) Some bridges are (D)meant to burn
