[Intro:] G A D

            G       A       D
You can only push someone so far
             G       A    D
You can only break so many hearts
           G           A
We used to be love one another
         D   A/C#      Bm
Now it's lust for your lover
            G              A          D  A/C#
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone


Bm
You can only wait
 G
You can only wait so long
 A
You can only wait
 D           A/C#     Bm
You can only wait so long
                         G
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong
 A                  D
You can only wait so long


 G             A          D A/C# Bm
Here come the memories of yesterday
 G          A                      D      A/C#           Bm
Here's the poetry, of all those things I couldn't even say
 G                    A               D              A/C#  Bm
You can only wait so long before your flower petals are all gone
             G             A               D
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
             G             A                D  A/C#
Ain't nobody crying for what used to be home


Em               Bm
Why couldn't you hold on to me?
Em                         Bm
I was right here, layin' in our bed
Em          Bm
All those things I didn't see
      G                            A
All those things I never should of said

You can only push someone so far
You can only break so many hearts
You can only wait so long
Before your flower petals are all gone
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone

Why couldn't you call out for me?
It's not like I was ever far away
Tie me to the edge and start to leave
There's nothing left here but a million words to say

We all have memories and I have spent my time in vain
Here's to our enemies and I will leave you with no pain
We will find a way somehow in this running just to know goodbye
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
You won't find me crying for what used to be home
