BURNING BRIDGES (Garth Brooks)


INTRO:   C  C/B  Am  G    C  C/B  Am  G


Am              C             F                C
Yesterday she thanked me for oilin that front door
     Dm                C                   F          G
This morning when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore
       Am              C                 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


         Am      F      C
Burning bridges one by one
  G       Am         F  G  C
What I'm doing can't be undone
 G      Am            C
And I'm always hoping someday
            F                  C
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
    Dm               C
But every time the chance comes up
  F  C  Dm7      G    C    C/B  Am  G
Another bridge goes down


      Am                 C         F                 C
Last night we talked of old times families and home towns
     Dm               C             F                 G
She wondered if we'd both agree on where we'd settle down
       Am                  C                   F         C
And I told her that we'd cross that bridge whenever it arrived
     Dm                C               F            G
Now thru the flames I see her standin on the other side


         Am      F      C
Burning bridges one by one
  G       Am         F  G  C
What I'm doing can't be undone
 G      Am            C
And I'm always hoping someday
            F                  C
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
    Dm               C
But every time the chance comes up
  F  C  Dm7      G    C   
Another bridge goes down


G      Am            C/G        F         C/G
  Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow
         Dm             C/G               F      G 
Knowing that the day my lesson's finaly learned
 G#      Am          C/G           FM7          C/G
I'll be standin at a river staring out across tomorrow
         Dm              C/G
And the bridge I need to get there
          FM7                 G      G F G
Will be a bridge that I have burned


 G#      Am      F      C
Burning bridges one by one
  G       Am         F  G  C
What I'm doing can't be undone
 G      Am            C
And I'm always hoping someday
            F                  C
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
    Dm               C
But every time the chance comes up
  F  C  Dm7      G    C  C/B  Am    G                   C  C/B  Am  G...
