Jason Mraz — Burning Bridges Chords
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 A D G B e
G 3 2 0 0 3 0
D/F 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 D/F Em7 Cadd9
I know exactly how you feel you were this close to closing deals
G D/F
when everything fell from out your hands
Em7 Cadd9
you were forced to decide on other plans now
G D/F Em7 Cadd9
you figured it best to just ignore it otherwise you're only living for it
G D/F
and if anyone ever wondered why you did it
Em7 Cadd9
you'd swear they never know you sold your soul to the
Em7 D/F (only play E string 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 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 Cadd9
being uninvoooo—oooooo—oolved
Em7 D/F Cadd9 C(1)
uninvoooo—oooooo—oooooo—oolved
Em7 D/F Cadd9
uninvooooooo—ooooo—ooolved
uninvolved (same as above)
G D/F Em7 Cadd9
oh, 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
