Capo on 2nd
C D Em D
C D Em
The old bridge is on Gfire and I’m the one to G7blame
A stone cold igCniter of a violent Dflame
Suffer all my Gbrothers and the family G7name
Like worn out Clovers, nobody was gonna Dchange
COur backs were weary and DI, I had enough
And you said GI want you to know what you’re walCking away fromEm  
But it was not eDnough
The old bridge is on Gfire and tearing at our G7clothes
Some deadly unnamed Cfighter, here come the final Dblows
We’re coughing up our Gfailures and choking on our G7lows
Leaving a trail beChind us of blood and broken DbonesC  
Our backs were weary and DI, I had enough
And you said GI want you to know what you’re walCking away fromEm  
But it was not enough, D7no it was not enough
AmEasy come (easy come), easy go (easy go)
It’s a Clong way home, it’s a long way home
G G7 C D
C
Our backs are weary and DI, I had enough
And you said GI want you to know what you’re walCking away fromEm  
But it was not eDnough, no
The old bridge is on Gfire
