Hi!
 
First of all I gotta say that this is not the way he plays it live...with dropped D
and stuff. But this sounds to 99% correct and is easier to play.
Here it is:
 
Standard tuning
 
       E A D G B e
 
G      3 2 0 0 3 0

Verse:
G        D/F                Em7            Cadd9
I know exactly how you feel you were this close to closing deals
 
G               D/F
when everything fell from out your hands
 
Em7                 Cadd9
you were forced to decide on other plans now
 
G               D/F                   Em7              Cadd9
you figured it best to just ignore it otherwise you're only living for it
 
G              D/F
and if anyone ever wondered why you did it
 
Em7                    Cadd9
you'd swear they never know you sold your soul to the
 
Em7                                D/F (only play E string here once)
burning, burning, burning, burning bridges
 
 
(The second verse is played the same way)
 
 
you know exactly what I want so
I don't have to be so damn upfront
no matter the moment we decide to make our minds up
I know a man who may need a new assignment
to hand in his heart and take his last vacation
attempting to spoil imagination
if anyone ever wonders where he went
I wouldn't say that he spent his time driving over
 
Em7                       D/F (play normal pattern)
burning, burning, burning bridges
 
 
Cadd9
burning, burning which is
 
         C(1)                  (strum C(1) down once)
nothing more than a longing for
 
           Em7   D/F    Cadd9
being uninvoooo-oooooo-oolved
 
 
     Em7   D/F    Cadd9  C(1)
uninvoooo-oooooo-oooooo-oolved
 
      Em7     D/F   Cadd9
uninvooooooo-ooooo-ooolved
uninvolved (same as above)
 
       G   D/F           Em7    Cadd9
oh, desiii-re can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire, it won't bring you back
 
 
Hope you got it.
 
bye
