Gadd4    Gadd2     x2

VERSE1
Gadd4                  
     Spotlights have a funny glow 
         Gadd2                       
They can keep you warm, but they can make you go crazy
Gadd4             
     Always gotta be the show
       Gadd2                                 Cadd4  
So you never know what it's like being in the crowd
Gadd4                   
     Lately I'm hearing people say
         Gadd2                             Gadd4               
You're a runaway and somebody's got to bring      you back to reality
         Gadd2                                             
Help you see the things that you might've been looking past

CHORUS
                *                       
I ain't burning bridges, I'm tryin' to mend them
         (A7sus2-A7sus2*)          
I apologise if I ever hurt your feelings
(Esus4-Em)          *                        (or /B)
      Got my own convictions and I've got to live them
                  (A7sus2-A7sus2*)    
I ain't burnin' bridges, that ain't my intention

VERSE2
Gadd4             
     Ain't got nothin' to hide
         Gadd2                    
Yeah I'm good with God, my soul's naked like water
Gadd4                   
     You and I wouldn't want to see
    Gadd2                                    Cadd4  
The girl I'd be if I wouldn't have turned you down
Gadd4           
     Show me so many things
        Gadd2                
But the best would be, never ever roll over
Gadd4                  G              Gadd2
     Stand up for what I believe and eventually 
                             
Everyone will come back around

CHORUS
                *                       
I ain't burning bridges, I'm tryin' to mend them
         (A7sus2-A7sus2*)          
I apologise if I ever hurt your feelings
(Esus4-Em)          *                        (or /B)
      Got my own convictions and I've got to live them
                  (A7sus2-A7sus2*)       (or )
I ain't burnin' bridges, that ain't my intention

BRIDGE
                                                             
   Always three sides to every story,  there's yours and there's mine
                                                     
But we've been ignoring,   the truth it hides behind a clear disguise

CHORUS
                *                       
I ain't burning bridges, I'm tryin' to mend them
         (A7sus2-A7sus2*)          
I apologise if I ever hurt your feelings
(Esus4-Em)          *                        (or /B)
      Got my own convictions and I've got to live them
                  (A7sus2-A7sus2*)    
I ain't burnin' bridges, that ain't my intention.
