Burn Out Bright Switchfoot
I did this from the acoustic version of Burn Out Bright which was offered up as a bonus
on the Best Buy release oh Oh! Gravity. It can be used to do the regular version but it
the acoustic a lot better, especially since an accurate tab is already avaliable.
Either strum slowly or pick within the chord
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
[Bm]Young ambition disappears
[Em]I swore it would never come to this
The [D]average, the obvious
[Em]How I'm still discontented down here
[A]I'm still discontented
[D]If we've only got one [A]try
If we've [Em]only got one [Bm]life
If [D]time was never on our [A]side
Then be[Em]fore I die I [Bm]want to burn out [D]bright[A]
So a [D]spark ignites in time and space
L[A]imping through this human race
You [Em]bite and claw your way back home
But youā??r[Bm]e running the wrong way
The [Em]future is a question mark
Of [D]kerosene and electric sparks
T[Em]hereā??s still fire in you yet
Yeah t[A]hereā??s still fire in you
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
Then b[Em]efore I die I [Bm]want to burn out [D]bright
Br[A]ight
[Em]I keep cleaning up the mess Iā??v[Bm]e made
[Em]I keep cleaning up the mess I've [Bm]made
[A]I won't run away
[Em]I canā??t sleep in th[Bm]e bed Iā??ve made
[Em]I can't sleep in the [Bm]bed I've made[A]
If we've [D]only got one [A]try
(We've only got one try)
If we've [Em]only got one l[Bm]ife
(We've only got one life)
If t[D]ime was never on our s[A]ide
(Time was never on our side)
Then b[Em]efore I die I [Bm]want to burn out [D]bright
Thats all, if there is any embellishment I didn't put here it follows those same chord
