D                                  E 
Found some letters you wrote me this morning.

They told of the love we once knew.

Now they''re gone, I burned them to ashes, 
           A                     D 
Don''t want nothing to remind me of you. 

G               D 
Burning bridges behind me,

It''s too late to turn back now.

Then I moved to a far away city.
