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: 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
