The old bridge is on fire and I’m the one to blame 
               C                  D 
A stone cold igniter of a violent flame 
              G                       G7 
Suffer all my brothers and the family name 
              C                        D 
Like worn out lovers, nobody was gonna change 

C                        D 
Our backs were weary and I, I had enough 
             G                                 C                Em

The old bridge is on fire and tearing at our clothes

Some deadly unnamed fighter, here come the final blows 
                      G                           G7 
We’re coughing up our failures and choking on our lows 
                  C                           D       C 
Leaving a trail behind us of blood and broken bones 

                         D 
Our backs were weary and I, I had enough 
             G                                 C                Em 
And you said I want you to know what you’re walking away from 
                       D7                      
But it was not enough, no it was not enough 

Am 
Easy come (easy come), easy go (easy go)

It’s a long way home, it’s a long way home
