Burning Bridges

intro..... C Am C Am C

Yesterday she thanked me for oilin that front door

This morning when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore

She'll never know how much I cared just that I couldn't stay

And I'll never know the reason why I always run away

chorus....

Burning bridges one by one

What I'm doing can't be undone

And I'm always hoping someday

I'm gonna stop this runnin' around

But every time the chance comes up

Another bridge goes down

last night we talked of old times

Families & home towns

She wondered if we'd both agree

On where we'd settle down

And I told her that we'd cross that bridge

Whenever it arrived

Now thru the flames I see her

standin on the other side

chorus....

Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow

Knowing that the day my lesson's finaly learned

I'll be standin at a river staring out across tomorrow

And the bridge I need to get there

Will be a bridge that I have burned

chorus....
