[Intro:] G5 A5 D5
G5 A5 D5
You can only push someone so far
G5 A5 D5
You can only break so many hearts
G5 A5
We used to be love one another
D5 A5 B5
Now it's lust for your lover
G5 A5 D5 A5
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
B5
You can only wait
G5
You can only wait so long
A5
You can only wait
D5 A5 B5
You can only wait so long
G5
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong
A5 D5
You can only wait so long
G5 A5 D5 A5 B5
Here come the memories of yesterday
G5 A5 D5 A5 B5
Here's the poetry, of all those things I couldn't even say
G5 A5 D5 A5 B5
You can only wait so long before your flower petals are all gone
G5 A5 D5
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
G5 A5 D5 A5
Ain't nobody crying for what used to be home
E5 B5
Why couldn't you hold on to me?
E5 B5
I was right here, layin' in our bed
E5 B5
All those things I didn't see
G5 A5
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
