Burning Bridges chords by Garth Brooks

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C C/B Am Am/G C C/B Am Am/G


Verse:
Am        G      F        C
Yesterday she thanked me for oiling the front door
   Dm        C         F      G
This morning when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore
Am          G         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:
    Am    F  G C
Burning bridges, one by one.
     Am     F G C
What I'm doing can't be undone
    Am      G         F         C
And I'm always hoping someday, I'm gonna stop this running 'round
   Dm             C  F  Dm G      C
But every time the chance comes up, another bridge goes down


Verse:
Am           G        F        C
Last night we talked of old times, and families and hometowns
  Dm        C       F         G
She wondered if we'd both agree on where we'd settle down
Am            G           F     C
And I told her that we'd cross that bridge whenever it arrives
  Dm      C              F      G
But now I see her through the flames standing on the other side


Chorus:
   Am
Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow
    Dm                G
Knowing that the day my lesson's finally learned.
    Am             Am
I'll be standing at a river staring out across tomorrow
    Am                    Dm      G
And the bridge I'll need to get there, will be a bridge that I have burned
