Pink Floyd - Burning Bridges (Waters, Wright)
G F D Bb F C G
GBridges burning gladly, Fmerging with the shadows,
DFlickering between the lines.
BbStolen moments floating Fsoftly on the air,
CBorn on wings of fire and Gclimbing higher.
Ebmaj7Ancient bonds are breaking, moving on and changing Dbmaj7sides.
Ebmaj7Dreaming of a new day, cast aside the other Dbmaj7way.
AbMagic visions stirring, kindled by and burning Gflames rise in her eyes.
The Ebmaj7door that stands ajar, the walls that once were hDbmaj7igh.
BeEbmaj7yond the gilded cage, beyond the reach of tDbmaj7ies.
The Abmoment is at hand.
She breaks the golden bGand.
Ebmaj7 Dbmaj7 Ab G
