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 
 
 
                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          Fmaj7         C 
I'll be standin at a river staring out across tomorrow 
         Dm                  C 
And the bridge I need to get there 
          Fmaj7                   G   Am   D 
Will be a bridge that I have burned 
 
 
 
chorus....
