If you like you can put a capo on 2nd fret and transpose the song two steps down instead.
Until the guitar starts it's basically just an A
[Intro]
A D (x4)
[Verse 1]
A On a drive I'm taking backroads D High against where the rivers are flowing A D I didn't think that our love had grown A You had me dead to rights D Hey, I'm trying to get some rest A D To keep on moving A How you been, you looking back D You tried to change your burning boat A D G D Until you realized what you were up against A I spent all those nights D Just trying to take you home A D 'Til you released me
[Chorus]
E A Cross the bridge Bm F#m E To redefine your pain F#m D Then the answer is in your heart E A Wide awake Bm F#m E D I rearrange the way I listen in the dark A E Dreaming of starting up A D again
A D
[Verse 2]
A D So if you look, you'll find yourself
You're not the demon in the dark
A D That you and I, yea we'd been through that A Can you rectify D All the time it took you A D Away from choosing? A D So as you find yourself flying high up there A D G D When you release me from your heart again (woo!) A D I'm just a burning man trying to keep the ship A From turning over D again
[Chorus]
E A Bm F#m E Cross the rich derivative of pain F#m D Crush the burning in your heart E A Wide awake Bm F#m E D To redefine the way you listen in the dark A E Dreaming, starting D F#m E Like a stranded kid in a doorway A D Just burning A D Yeah we turn the light in
Then just fade out with A & D (G & C if capo on 2nd) until the song ends
