Guitar chords with lyrics


First of all I gotta say that this is not the way he plays it live...with dropped D
and stuff. But this sounds to 99% correct and is easier to play.
Here it is:

Standard tuning

    E A D G B e

G   3 2 0 0 3 0

D/F  2 0 0 2 3 0

Em7  0 2 2 0 3 0

Cadd9 0 3 2 0 3 3

C(1)  0 2 1 2 3 0  (you can also play 0 2 0 2 3 0)

Intro: Cadd9 (2x)

      S = strum   x = Strum slightly up-down-up-down-up
             x

      S       S       S       S
    e|- - - 0 -   - - - 0-   - - - 0 -   - - - 3 -

This pattern is used through the whole song!


Verse:
Cadd9
I know exactly how you feel you were this close to closing deals

D/F
when everything fell from out your hands

Cadd9
you were forced to decide on other plans now

Cadd9
you figured it best to just ignore it otherwise you're only living for it

D/F
and if anyone ever wondered why you did it

Cadd9
you'd swear they never know you sold your soul to the

Em7                D/F (only play E string here once)
burning, burning, burning, burning bridges


(The second verse is played the same way)


you know exactly what I want so
I don't have to be so damn upfront
no matter the moment we decide to make our minds up
I know a man who may need a new assignment
to hand in his heart and take his last vacation
attempting to spoil imagination
if anyone ever wonders where he went
I wouldn't say that he spent his time driving over

Em7            D/F (play normal pattern)
burning, burning, burning bridges


Cadd9
burning, burning which is

     C(1)         (strum C(1) down once)
nothing more than a longing for

      Cadd9
being uninvoooo-oooooo-oolved


   C(1)
uninvoooo-oooooo-oooooo-oolved

   Cadd9
uninvooooooo-ooooo-ooolved
uninvolved (same as above)

    Cadd9
oh, desiii-re can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire, it won't bring you back


Hope you got it.
