Verse:
G D/F Em7 Cadd9
I know exactly how you feel you were this close to closing deals
G D/F
when everything fell from out your hands
Em7 Cadd9
you were forced to decide on other plans now
G D/F Em7 Cadd9
you figured it best to just ignore it otherwise you're only living for it
G D/F
and if anyone ever wondered why you did it
Em7 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
Em7 D/F Cadd9
being uninvoooo-oooooo-oolved
Em7 D/F Cadd9 C(1)
uninvoooo-oooooo-oooooo-oolved
Em7 D/F Cadd9
uninvooooooo-ooooo-ooolved
uninvolved (same as above)
G D/F Em7 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
