[Verse 1]
A     E       Bm      D     A         E                Bm
I can see you looking back, wondering what it is we've done
   A      E             Bm       D             D       C#m            F#m
We had no choice but to set this fire, there's nothing left to do but burn


[Chorus]
    A         E            Bm        D        A     E            Bm
The bridge is burning, the bridge is burning, every story has to end
    A         E            Bm        D              D    C#m             F#m  E
The bridge is burning, the bridge is burning, we'll never go back there again


[Bridge 1]
G                        F#                Bm     A     E
 Through the smoke I can see the old stone houses of my past
G                     F#                Bm           A       E
 Where the day to day goes too slow and friends grow old too fast
         A      A/G#    F#m                    Bm        E
Now that we are free at last, our world can be everything


[Chorus]
    A         E            Bm        D        A     E            Bm
The bridge is burning, the bridge is burning, every story has to end
    A         E            Bm        D              D    C#m             F#m  E
The bridge is burning, the bridge is burning, we'll never go back there again


[Bridge 2]
G                        F#                Bm        A          E
 They can stop trying to break us down and wound our heart with pride
G                     F#               Bm       A      E
 We can't make them believe in what we are deep down inside
      A      A/G#    F#m                      Bm        E
If we didn't have to hide, our world could be everything, yeah

    A         E            Bm        D      D C#m      F#m      E
The bridge is burning, the bridge is burning,    we'll never go back there again
