Burning Bridges Tabs & Lyrics by Jason Mraz
Burning Bridges
guitar tabs lyrics
Hi!
First of all I gotta say that this is not the way he plays it live...with dropped D
and stuff. But this sounds to 99% correct and is easier to play.
Here it is:
Standard tuning
E A D G B e
G 3 2 0 0 3 0
D/F 2 0 0 2 3 0
Em7 0 2 2 0 3 0
Cadd9 0 3 2 0 3 3
C(1) 0 2 1 2 3 0 (you can also play 0 2 0 2 3 0)
Intro: G - D/F - Em7 - Cadd9 (2x)
S = strum x = Strum slightly up-down-up-down-up
x
S S S S
e|- - - 0 - - - - 0- - - - 0 - - - - 3 -
B|- - - - 3 - - - - 3 - - - - 3 - - - - 3
G|- 0 - - - x - 2 - - - x - 0 - - - x - 0 - - - x
D|- 0 0 - - x - 0 0 - - x - 2 2 - - x - 2 2 - - x
A|- 2 - - - - 0 - - - 2 2 - - - 3 3 - - -
E|3 - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This pattern is used through the whole song!
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
Hope you got it.
bye
