Hi!

First of all I gotta say that this is not the way he plays it live...with dropped D 
and stuff. But this sounds to 99% correct and is easier to play.
Here it is:

Standard tuning

       E (022100@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G B (x2444x@1)name="chord_022000@1">e

G (320003@1)    3 2 0 0 3 0

D/F (100232@1)  2 0 0 2 3 0

Em7    0 2 2 0 3 0

Cadd9  0 3 2 0 3 3

C(1)   0 2 1 2 3 0   (you can also play 0 2 0 2 3 0)

Intro: G - D/F - Em7 - Cadd9 (2x)

           S = strum     x = Strum slightly up-down-up-down-up
                         x

           S             S             S             S
       e|- - - 0 -     - - - 0-      - - - 0 -     - - - 3 -
       B|- - - - 3     - - - - 3     - - - - 3     - - - - 3
       G|- 0 - - -  x  - 2 - - -  x  - 0 - - -  x  - 0 - - - x
       D|- 0 0 - -  x  - 0 0 - -  x  - 2 2 - -  x  - 2 2 - - x
       A|- 2 - - -     - 0 - - -     2 2 - - -     3 3 - - -
       E|3 - - - -     2 - - - -     - - - - -     - - - - -

This pattern is used through the whole song!


Verse:
G (320003@1)      D/F (100232@1)              Em7            Cadd9I (x32030@1)know exactly how you feel you were this close to closing deals

G (320003@1)             D/Fwhen (100232@1)everything fell from out your hands

Em7                 Cadd9you (x32030@1)were forced to decide on other plans now

G (320003@1)             D/F (100232@1)                 Em7              Cadd9you (x32030@1)figured it best to just ignore it otherwise you're only living for it

G (320003@1)            D/Fand (100232@1)if anyone ever wondered why you did it

Em7                    Cadd9you'd (x32030@1)swear they never know you sold your soul to the

Em7                                D/F(only (100232@1)play Estring (022100@1)here once)
burning, burning, burning, burning bridges


(The second verse is played the same way)


you know exactly what I want so
I don't have to be so damn upfront
no matter the moment we decide to make our minds up
I know a man who may need a new assignment
to hand in his heart and take his last vacation
attempting to spoil imagination
if anyone ever wonders where he went
I wouldn't say that he spent his time driving over

Em7                       D/F(play (100232@1)normal pattern)
burning, burning, burning bridges


Cadd9
burning, burning which is

         C(1)                  (strum C(1) down once)
nothing more than a longing for

           Em7   D/F (100232@1)  Cadd9being (x32030@1)uninvoooo-oooooo-oolved


     Em7   D/F (100232@1)  Cadd9 (x32030@1)C(1)
uninvoooo-oooooo-oooooo-oolved

      Em7     D/F (100232@1) Cadd9uninvooooooo-ooooo-ooolved (x32030@1)uninvolved (same as above)

       G (320003@1) D/F (100232@1)         Em7    Cadd9oh, (x32030@1)desiii-re can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire, it won't bring you back


Hope you got it.

bye
