Burning Bridges
Recorded by Garth Brooks
Written by Stephanie Brown and Garth Brooks

Am            C              F                 C
Yesterday she thanked me for oiling that front door
     Dm               Em                 F           G7
This morning when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore
         Am             C                 F               C
She will never know how much I cared just that I couldn't stay
         Dm             C            F          G7
And I'll never know the reason why I always run away

        Am      F      C            Am          F  G7 C
Burning bridges one by one what I'm doing can't be undone
        Am            C                 F                 C
And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this running round
    Dm             C               F   C   G7          C
But every time the chance comes up another bridge goes down

     Am                 C             F                C
Last night we talked of old times and families and hometowns
    Dm               Em            F                 G7
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 arrives
    Dm                   C                F            G7
Now through the flames I see her standing on the other side

        Am      F      C            Am          F  G7 C
Burning bridges one by one what I'm doing can't be undone
        Am            C                 F                 C
And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this running round
    Dm             C               F   C   G7          C
But every time the chance comes up another bridge goes down

     Am           G7      F             C
Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow
        Dm              Em              F
Knowing that the day my lessons finally learned
G7      Am            C             F          C
I'll be standing at a river staring out across tomorrow
        Dm                  C
And the bridge I'll need to get there 
     F                       G7
Will be a bridge that I have burned

        Am      F      C            Am          F  G7 C
Burning bridges one by one what I'm doing can't be undone
        Am            C                 F                 C
And I'm always hoping someday I'm gonna stop this running round
    Dm             C               F   C   G7          C
But every time the chance comes up another bridge goes down

Am                  C
Another bridge goes down
