Garth Brooks - Burning Bridges

From "Ropin' The Wind" (1991)

INTRO:  [C]   [C/B]   [Am]   [Am/G]  (x2)

[Am]Yesterday she [G]thanked me for [F]oiling the front [C]door
This [Dm]morning when she [C]wakes she won't be [F]thankful any[G]more
[Am]She'll never know how [G]much I cared, just [F]that I couldn't [C]stay
And I'll [Dm]never know the [C]reason why I [F]always run a[G]way

CHORUS
Burning [Am]bridges, [F]one [G]by [C]one
What I'm [Am]doing can't [F]be [G]un[C]done
And I'm [Am]always hoping [G]someday, I'm gonna [F]stop this running [C]'round
But [Dm]every time the chance comes [C]up, [F]anoth[Dm]er [G]bridge goes [C]down

[Am]Last night we talked of [G]old times, and [F]families and home[C]towns
She [Dm]wondered if we'd [C]both agree on [F]where we'd settle [G]down
And I [Am]told her that we'd [G]cross that bridge when[F]ever it ar[C]rives
But [Dm]now I see her [C]through the flames standing [F]on the other [G]side

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Like [Am]ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow
Knowing [Dm]that the day my lesson's final[G]ly learned.
I'll be [Am]standing at a river staring out across tomorrow
And the bridge I'll need to get there, will be a [Dm]bridge that I [G]have burned

CHORUS

INTRO  (x3)
