Album: Bridges worth burning
Tabber: Andrew Biles
Standard tuning
GAm
Make what you can out of nothing
D/F#
Keep bluffing your way to extinction
CD
You're a sick fuck to think
EmCD
That this, unlike anything else, will last forever
GAm
Building rock anthems a jigsaw exterior
D/F#
You see what you miss
CD
But you can't stand to be near her
Em
It's bigger than that you realize
CD
But short-sighted impulses own what's left of your dignity
GAm
Tell yourself quietly don't plow the field yet
D/F#CD
You're waiting to grow some new life from retrospect
EmC
You know free agency pays little in the long run
D
But you just don't feel like your legs are that tired yet
EmAm
Friends and go-betweens
D
Sing like canaries crushed in leaves
AmC
This is the thanks you get
EmAm
Somewhere that's sweet
D
Maybe someday we will meet
AmCDG
And I can thank you without strings
Am
All these befores that get drilled on long after
D/F#CD
It's all just leverage when you're sure that it's over
EmC
The street goes blurry like a movie that you saw once
D
Minutes freeze but you can't collect the corners still
GAm
She used to whisper you name like a refrain
D/F#CD
And when she held you, you know, you felt safer
Em
But your demons are fucking huge
C
You stack your deck to lose
D
You say there's nothing you can do
Well we all know that you're lying
EmAm
Friends and go-betweens
D
Sing like canaries crushed in Spring
AmC
This is the thanks you get
EmAm
You get what you put in
D
I guess that's bullshit in the end
Am
Written under fluorescent lights
CDG
That replace the sun at night
