[Verse 1]
G#
Counting the bridges I’ve burned all of my life
C# G#
Those arches and moats are broken and past repair
G#
If you were the mockingbird I was the carpenter’s wife
C# G#
I searched for the good the shavings of wood desperate to find it but I never could
[Chorus]
D# C# G#
But I always say as long as I tried my best, Devil take the rest
[Verse 2]
G#
Counting the lessons I’ve received best of my life
C# G#
Loved ones and friends, roots of my family tree
G#
If you were the carpenter I was a starling in flight
C# G#
I broke from the ground, I mimicked the sounds, free as the springtime while others were bound
[Chorus]
D# C#
If people seem wrong, confused by your songs I’ll defend them
D# C# G#
And if we return to bridges I’ve burned will you mend them? We can start again
C# G#
Oooooooooh x 4
[Chorus]
D# C#
If people seem wrong, confused by your songs I’ll defend them
D# C# G#
And if we return to bridges I’ve burned will you mend them? We can start again
[Outro]
