Burning Bridges

Tom: Am
Intro.....   C  Am  C  Am  C

Am                C          F                  C
Yesterday she thanked me for oilin that front door
     Dm                 C                    F           G
This morning when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore
       Am              C                  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....
                F          C
Burning bridges one by one
G        Am          F  G     C
What I'm doing can't be undone
    G     Am            C
And I'm always hoping someday
          F                        C
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
    Dm                   C
But every time the chance comes up
  F  C  Dm7    G     C    Am   C
Another bridge goes down

last night we talked of old times
Families & home towns
She wondered if we'd both agree
On where we'd settle down
And I told her that we'd cross that bridge
Whenever it arrived
Now thru the flames I see her
standin on the other side

chorus....
G    Am             C         F           C
Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow
            Dm          C                     F   G
Knowing that the day my lesson's finaly learned
        Am              C          F7+           C
I'll be standin at a river staring out across tomorrow
         Dm                  C
And the bridge I need to get there
          F7+                     G   Am   D
Will be a bridge that I have burned


chorus....
