Burn It Down from the album Tin Can Trust
The "G6"= G w/open (e)...I don't really know what it is, but that's what I found with a short look.
* After the Em G6 A sequence there is this little "bow da bow bow" thing...just hit he E string at the
third fret and then open E to make it(edit: I think it is a hammer on/off). I have no idea how to technically explain that, sorry.
[Intro]
Em   G6   A* Em   Em   G6  A  
AI didn't say a EmwordEm  G6  A  
AIt's only destiny I EmheardEm  G6  A  
The time had come for me to Emrun awayG6  A  
"Don't even turn around" is Emwhat they sayG6  A  
AI couldn't say a EmwordEm  G6  A  
AIt's only dignity I EmheardEm  G6  A  
But once I go, there is no cEmoming backG6  A  
Throw away all that I Emone time had G6   D

Gonna burn it AdownA  C  D  
A* Em   Em   G6  A  
Gonna burn it down
Had tied me up and I Emcouldn't breatheEm  G6  A  
I cut the rope and then EmI broke freeG6  A  
Whatever was left I threw it Emdown into the dirtG6  A  
And kicked the dust until my Emdamned eyes hurtG6  D

Gonna burn it all down
I couldn't say one EmwordEm  G6  A  
It's just mystery I EmheardEM  G6  A  
Maybe I'll miss it on some Emlonely dayG6  A  
And maybe think about what EmI might sayG6  D  
I'll burn it AdownA  C  D  
'Til it's gone gone AgoneA  C  D  
A* Em   Em   G6   A* Em   G6  A
