[G] Well it is you [F] I suppose [G] I play like [E] fashion comes and goes
I can't set [Gb] my mind on [D] you [G] [Eb] And yes I lied [F] about those lovers
That they were just [E] some kind of cover [Eb] For the nights [B] we used to [D] share
I've seen this [G] world a lot [Bb] before Still I [Gm] cross it once more
I shook the [Eb] hand of the [F] boatman Who would take me back along
Bridges [E] I've burned, the bridges [Eb] I've burned Bridges [Gb] I've burned [D] by now
I shook the [Eb] hand of the [F] boatman Who would take me back along
Bridges [E] I've burned, the bridges [Eb] I've burned Bridges [Gb] I've burned by [D] now
[G] [Eb] And there are people [F] taking bets [G] Living all [E] around the bet
For I can't set [Gbm] my thoughts [D] on you And [G] [Ebm] I reduced [F] them to a scratch
[G] You know just some perfect [E] match [Eb] For the nights we [Ab] used to [D] share
But I don't believe I care
