                          C
All the bridges that you burn 
                      Am
come back one day to haunt you,
                            F       G F   C  Am  C  Am
one day you'll find you're walking lonely
          C                      Am
Oh Baby I   never meant to hurt you,
               F      G          F               C  Am  C  Am
the best intentions still don't make things right
                        C      Am
But all my ghosts they find me
                             C       Am
like my past they think they own me,
                                    F        G         F
in dreams and dark corners they surround me,  I cry I cry.
 

                  Am              G        C
Let me take this time to set the record straight. 
                  Am      G           C
Let me take this time to take it all back.
                  Am      G              C
Let me take this time to tell you how I felt.
                  Am      G               C      Am C  Am
Let me take this time to try and make it right.
                          C                         Am
All the bridges that you burn come back one day to haunt you,
                            F       G F   C  Am  C  Am
one day you'll find you're walking lonely
             C              Am
But you can walk, walk away,   all alone,
F            G                     F                  C
all your time  thinking about the way things used to be.
                    Am                 F                     G   F G C
If love feels right,   you work it out,  you don't give it up,  Baby  
                      Am                       F
Anybody tell you that,  anybody tell you that,
                      G  F
anybody tell you that
                      Am  G                      C
You should take some time   maybe sleep on it tonight
                      Am  G                        C
You should take some time   baby heed the words I say
                      Am  G                   C
You should take some time   think about your life
                      Am                G           C  Am  C  Am
You should take some time before you throw it all away
                          C                         Am
All the bridges that you burn come back one day to haunt you,
                            F       G F    C  Am  C  Am
one day you'll find you're walking lonely
                 Am  G                        C
I ain't got the time,  to sit here and wait around,
               Am   G                         C   Am  C  Am
but I got the time,  if you say I'm what you want
                          C                         Am
All the bridges that you burn come back one day to haunt you,
                            F       G F    C
one day you'll find you're walking lonely
