Verse:

For the first to verses let the chords ring as well, except for the C.

In the background the violin plays a high pitch C and sliding ut to Db at the end of 
each line. (Again listen in and you'll here it)


Ab               Fm                 Db
  Burning bridges, breaking hearts
                  Ab
  Everything you taught us to do
Ab                     Fm                    Db
  We're burning bridges, and breaking hearts
                     C
  No home to come home to


Ab                      Fm                   Db
  We're burning bridges, and breaking hearts
                   Ab
  I won't look you in the eye
Ab                    Fm                Db
  And burning bridges, breaking hearts
                  C
  Caught you in a friendship lie


Ab Fm Db Ab


(This verse is only played by Rich. Let these chords ring)
Ab             Fm              Db
  Took a visit, to your old house
                       Ab
  The windows were all boarded up
Ab              Fm          Db
  Try to hold these, memories
                C
  The ocean in a paper cup


Ab                 Fm             Db
  There's no future in this town
                     Ab
  They barricade the buildings there
Ab            Fm               Db
  To the lion, you've been cast
                C
  Only bones are gonna last


Chorus (Or some such):

Both guitars play this. The whole thing is tremolo picked. For the most accurate sound, 
make sure to slide between the notes:

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--16--------9--8---11-5----7--5----16------9-8---15---11-12-13-------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

It ends on Ab and then goes back into the verse chords. Like so (Again, this verse is 
only played by Rich, chords ring):

Ab              Fm              Db
  There's a city, underground
                 Ab
  There's a city made of glass
Ab              Fm             Db
  There's a city, underground
                   C
  Hurry cause it's breaking fast


Ab                      Fm                 Db
  We're burning bridges, breaking hearts
                  Ab
  Everything you taught us to do
Ab                     Fm                    Db
  We're burning bridges, and breaking hearts
                     C
  No home to come home to


Ab                      Fm
  We're burning bridges, breaking hearts
Ab                     Fm
  We're burning bridges, and breaking hearts
Ab                      Fm                 Db
  We're burning bridges, breaking hearts
                 C
  Breaking hearts


Here the song goes into a new chorus like thing, where both guitars play the following 
in tremolo picking:

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--19---9-8--15--11---6--5--10-9--------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
