Verse 1
C#m         E6/C#        A   AMaj7  Asus2
It's such a shame to let this go to waste
C#m            E6/C#     A   AMaj7     Asus2
There's little time left here for saving face
C#m         E6/C#         A  AMaj7 Asus2
We tried to put a bandage on these years
C#m         E6/C#      A   AMaj7  Asus2
I know this isn't what you want to hear


Pre-chorus 1 (Dist. on)
        E5*          B5*
You can say what you like
         A5*           Am6/C
Pass the blame I don't mind because


Chorus 1
E5              B5                    A5
We both lit the match that burned the bridge
E5              B5                    A5    G5
We both lit the match that burned the bridge
E5*             B5*       A5*                 Am6/C
We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down

Verse 2
C#m        E6/C#      A     AMaj7 Asus2
Our common ground was broken long ago
C#m                   E6/C#         A    AMaj7 Asus2
What slipped thru the cracks I fear we'll never know
C#m           E6/C#        A    AMaj7 Asus2
I'll walk you thru the graveyard of my mind
C#m        E6/C#     A   AMaj7 Asus2
Show you a love that I buried alive


Pre-chorus 2 (Dist. on)
         E5*         B5*
Cause we both walked away
        A5*             Am6/C           
Who was wrong, who's to say I know 


Chorus 2
E5              B5                    A5
We both lit the match that burned the bridge
E5              B5                    A5    G5
We both lit the match that burned the bridge
E5*             B5*       A5*                 Am6/C
We both lit the match and watched our bridges burn down

Chorus 3
E5*             B5*                   A5*
We both lit the match that burned the bridge
E5*             B5*                   A5*
