Burning Bridges

 
                                                   F#m 
Just like a runaway train screaming down a one way track 
    A                                                 F#m 
All gas and no breaks, leaving town and never looking back 
         A                                                F#m 
It was a hell of a place but I was dreaming up streets of gold 
A                                                 F#m 
Up to my neck in the Rubicon, locked in a stranglehold 
 

 
D                                 A 
 The bridges burning may light my way 
                                    C#m 
And shine on all the right words to say 
                         F#m 
But it's raining on my parade 
D                                 A 
 When you look up and you're all alone 
                                C#m 
Do you wish you'd never left home 
                   E 
And just played it safe 
 

 
         A                                              F#m 
I made a name for myself and got stuck inside of my own skin 
            A                                                   F#m 
I'm talking straight jacket, padded room, don't know where to begin 
                   A                                               F#m 
Cause when they're getting you down my friend you gotta rattle the cage 
        A                                           F#m 
But you gotta be thoughtful, you gotta channel your rage 
 

 
D                                 A 
 The bridges burning may light my way 
                                    C#m 
And shine on all the right words to say 
                         F#m 
But it's raining on my parade 
D                                 A 
 When you look up and you're all alone 
                                C#m 
Do you wish you'd never left home 
                   E 
And just played it safe
