[Verse 1]

Counting the bridges I’ve burned all of my life

C# G#

Those arches and moats are broken and past repair

If you were the mockingbird I was the carpenter’s wife

C# G#

I searched for the good the shavings of wood desperate to find it but I never could

[Chorus]

D# C# G#

But I always say as long as I tried my best, Devil take the rest

[Verse 2]

Counting the lessons I’ve received best of my life

C# G#

Loved ones and friends, roots of my family tree

If you were the carpenter I was a starling in flight

C# G#

I broke from the ground, I mimicked the sounds, free as the springtime while others were bound

[Chorus]

D# C#

If people seem wrong, confused by your songs I’ll defend them

D# C# G#

And if we return to bridges I’ve burned will you mend them? We can start again

C# G#

Oooooooooh x 4
