Chorus:
C
All the bridges that you burn
Am
Come back one day to haunt you
F
One day you'll find you're walking
G F C
Lonely
C
Baby I Am
Never meant to hurt you
F
Sometimes the best intentions
C
Still don't make things right
C Am
But all my ghosts they find me
C Am
Like my past they think they own me
F
In dreams and dark corners they surround me
G F
Till I cry I cry
Am G C
Let me take this time to set the record straight
Am G C
Let me take this time to take it all back
Am G C
Let me take this time to tell you how I felt
Am G C
Let me take this time to try and make it right
Chorus
But you can
Walk away
Be all alone
Spend all your time
Thinking about the way things used to be
If love feels right
You work it out
You don't give it up
Baby
Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that
You should take some time maybe sleep on it tonight
You should take some time baby heed the words I said
You should take some time think about your life
You should take some time before you throw it
all away
Chorus
I ain't got the time
To sit here and wait around
But I got the time
If you say I'm what you want
Chorus:
So all the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
One day you'll find you're walking
Lonely
