[Chorus]
D G
Well, have you ever built back a burnt bridge
D A
You ever wish you didn't burn it but you did
D G
Losing friends is a fickle thing
A
Well, it's awful tricky building back a burnt bridge
 
[Verse 1]
D G
There's something lurking in the water
D A
There's something heavy on your mind
D G
You don't like to talk about your problems
A
'Cause once the levee opens then your problems start to multiply
D G
You found an answer in the bottom of a bottle
D A
You found a quick solution in the barrel of a .45
D G
Ghosts and skeletons always running after you
A
There's nothing you would rather do than run and hide
 
[Chorus]

Well, have you ever built back a burnt bridge
D A
You ever wish you didn't burn it but you did

Losing friends is a fickle thing
A
Well, it's awful tricky building back a burnt bridge
 
[Verse 2]
D G
She was a pretty little thing
D A
Now she's a figment of your mind
D G
Y'all don't even share the same friends anymore
A
And you probably won't see her 'til you die
D G
Well, he was something kin to your blood
D A
You could hold him in your arms, now he's wind in the pines
D G
You run into each other every couple of years
A
But he ain't never coming back into your life
 
[Chorus]
D G
Well, have you ever built back a burnt bridge
D A
You ever wish you didn't burn it but you did
D G
Losing friends is a fickle thing
A
Well, it's awful tricky building back a burnt bridge
D G
Ain't it tricky, I learned it
D A
It's awful tricky, have you ever built back a burnt bridge
D G
And then you wish you didn't
A
(I've learned that several times in my life)
 
[Verse 3]
D G
You used to find affinity in every little thing
D A
Now you can hardly separate the dark from light
D G
What's a guilty conscience but a night terror flare-up
A
That'll paralyze your body out of spite
D G
There's sorrow in your garden hose
D A
And you're watering your flowers with salt
D G
Nobody wants to see your face around here
A
And I think we both know who's at fault
 
[Chorus]
D G
Well, have you ever built back a burnt bridge
D A
You ever wish you didn't burn it but you did
D G
Losing friends is a fickle thing
A
Well, it's awful tricky building back a burnt bridge
 
[Outro]
D
Have you ever built back a burnt bridge
G D A
You ever wish you didn't burn it but you did, but you did, but you did
D G
Losing friends is a fickle thing
A
And it's tricky... (fade out)
