Lyrics

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.
