I used the dead wood to make the fi re (C)rise,
the blood of in no cence burn ing in the (D)skies.
I filled my cup with the ris ing of the (C)sea,
I poured it out in an o cean of de (D)bris.
(F)Oh.
I’m (G)swim ming in the (Am)smoke
of bridg es I have burned,
so (Em)don’t a po lo gize, I’m los ing what I don’t de serve,
(E7)what I don’t de serve.
It’s (E7)in the black ened (Am)bones
of bridg es I have burned.
So (Em)don’t a pol o gize, I’m los ing what I don’t de serve,
(E7)what I don’t de serve.
I’m (G)swim ming in the (Am)smoke
of bridg es I have burned,
so (Em)don’t a pol o gize, I’m los ing what I don’t de serve.
The (E7)blame is mine a (Am)lone
for bridg es I have burned,
so (Em)don’t a pol o gize, I’m los ing what I don’t de serve,
(E7)what I don’t de (Am)serve.
(Em)What I don’t de (F)serve.
Oh.
(E7)What I don’t de serve.
I used the dead wood to make the fi re (C)rise,
the blood of in no cence burn ing in the (D)skies.
