A Bridge I Didnt Burn

I can feel the need and know it won't be long

      C                               G7
Until I give into rising weakness and I pick up the phone

         C                                  F
I always head in her direction when there's no place else to turn

    C                         G7                         C
And tonight I'll take a walk  across the bridge I didn't burn


F                                   C
Tonight I'll take a walk across the bridge I didn't burn

F                             C              G7
Pickup where we left off on a lesson still unlearned

     C                               F
It's like I never had a choice where loving her is concerned

   C                         G7                         C
So tonight I'll take a walk  across the bridge I didn't burn


                                                F
I should have struck the match a long long time ago

    C                             G7
But courage takes a backseat when old feelings take control

         C                          F
Lord she plays me like a fool every time that I return

    C                         G7                         C
But tonight I'll take a walk  across the bridge I didn't burn


F                                   C
Tonight I'll take a walk across the bridge I didn't burn

F                             C              G7
Pickup where we left off on a lesson still unlearned

     C                               F
It's like I never had a choice where loving her is concerned

   C                         G7                         C
So tonight I'll take a walk  across the bridge I didn't burn
