George Strait – By The Light Of A Burning Bridge (Ukulele)

C             F         G           C           F  G
Oh, I've been stumblin' through the darkness,

C                  F        G        C       F  G
Tryin' to feel the ground beneath my feet.

C                F       G     C            F  G
Afraid of movin' much in any direction...

C               F            G      C      Am  G
Stuck where the past and the future meet.

      F              C
But I fin'lly got my first good look...

G                 C
A little fire was all it took.

F                      C
An' as the flames grew brighter,

      G                
I saw everything that I'd missed.

F                 C
Once you get your courage up,

G                          Am
You light a match an' your eyes adjust...

F                   C
It's amazing what a man can see,

       Am         G             C
By the light of a burnin' bridge.

C                       F        G       C          F  G
An' there were things I saw that I'm not proud of.

C                  F         G        C       F  G
Things that I'd do diff'rent now from then.

C                 F       G       C        F  G
But when I really make myself get honest,

C               F        G     C      Am   G
It's over and I can't go back again.

F                       C
'Cause I fin'lly got my first good look...

G                 C
A little fire was all it took.

F                      C

G                                F              C
It sure is hard to let go and to leave the past behind,

          Dm             C                F                  G              
But there ain't no other way that you can find some peace of mind.

F                     C
