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 - B|- - - - 3 - - - - 3 - - - - 3 - - - - 3 G|- 0 - - - x - 2 - - - x - 0 - - - x - 0 - - - x D|- 0 0 - - x - 0 0 - - x - 2 2 - - x - 2 2 - - x A|- 2 - - - - 0 - - - 2 2 - - - 3 3 - - - E|3 - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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.
