Burn Out Bright Switchfoot
(1_+[D]_2_+a_e
a_e+a) (Repeat similar)
(I want to burn out bright)
Does it [D]have to start with a broken heart / [a]Broken dreams and bleeding parts
[Em]We were young and the world was clear / But y[Bm]oung ambition disappears
I [G]swore it would never come to this / The [D]average, the obvious
[Em]I'm still discontented down here / [G]I'm still discontented
If we've [D]only got one [a]try
If we've [Em]only got one [Bm]life
If [D]time was never on our [a]side
Bm G (Intro)
Then before I die, I want to burn out bright
(None)/F#~ a
A spark ignites in time and space / Limping through this human race
You [Em]bite and claw your way back home / But you're [Bm]running the wrong way
The [G]future is a question mark / Of [D]kerosene and electric sparks
[Em]There's still fire in you yet / Yeah [G]there's still fire in you!
(Chorus)
Bass: Bm Em a D (x2)
(Instrumental Interlude)
[Bm] I keep cleaning up the mess I've made [a-Bm-D]
[G] I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
[Em]I won't run a[B]way / I can't sleep in the bed I've made [a-Bm-D]
[G] I can't sleep in the bed I've made [Em]
