Until the guitar starts it's basically just an A
A D x4
A
On a drive I'm taking backroads
D
High against where the rivers are flowing
A D
I didn't think that our love had grown
A
You had me dead to rights
D
Hey, I'm trying to get some rest
A D
To keep on moving
A
How you been, you looking back
D
You tried to change your burning boat
A D G D
Until you realized what you were up against
A
I spent all those nights
D
Just trying to take you home
A D
'Til you released me
E A
Cross the bridge
Bm F#m E
To redefine your pain
F#m D
Then the answer is in your heart
E A
Wide awake
Bm F#m E D
I rearrange the way I listen in the dark
A E
Dreaming of starting up
A D
again
A D
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_war_on_drugs/burning_crd.html ]
A D
So if you look, you'll find yourself
You're not the demon in the dark
A D
That you and I, yea we'd been through that
A
Can you rectify
D
All the time it took you
A D
Away from choosing?
A D
So as you find yourself flying high up there
A D G D
When you release me from your heart again (woo!)
A D
I'm just a burning man trying to keep the ship
A
From turning over
D
again
E A Bm F#m E
Cross the rich derivative of pain
F#m D
Crush the burning in your heart
E A
Wide awake
Bm F#m E D
To redefine the way you listen in the dark
A E
Dreaming, starting
D F#m E
Like a stranded kid in a doorway
A D
Just burning
A D
Yeah we turn the light in
Then just fade out with A & D until the song ends.
