A D (x4)
Verse 1
[A]On a drive I'm taking backroads
[D]High against where the rivers are flowing
[A]I didn't think that our [D]love had grown
[A]You had me dead to rights
Hey, I'm [D]trying to get some rest
To keep on [A]moving[D]
[A] How you been, you looking back
You [D]tried to change your burning boat
[A] Until you realized what [D]you [G]were up [D]against
[A]I spent all those nights
Just [D]trying to take you home
'Til you[A] released me[D]
Chorus
[E]Cross the [A]bridge
To [Bm][F#m]redefine your[E] pain
Then the[F#m] answer is in your[D] heart
[E] Wide [A]awake
I [Bm][F#m]rearrange the [E]way I listen in the[D] dark
[A]Dreaming of [E]starting up
[A]again[D]
[A] [D]
Verse 2
So if you[A] look, you'll find [D]yourself
You're not the demon in the dark
That [A]you and I, yea we'd been [D]through that
[A] Can you rectify
[D]All the time it took you
Away from [A]choosing?[D]
[A] So as you find yourself [D]flying high up there
[A] When you release me from your [D]heart [G]again [D](woo!)
[A] I'm just a burning man [D]trying to keep the ship
From turning [A]over
[D]again
Chorus
[E] Cross the [A]rich [Bm][F#m]derivative of[E] pain
Crush [F#m]the burning in your [D]heart
[E] Wide [A]awake
To [Bm][F#m]redefine [E]the way you listen in the [D]dark
[A]Dreaming, [E]starting
Like [D]a [F#m]stranded kid in a [E]doorway
Just [A]burning[D]
Yeah we turn the [A]light in[D]
