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 D Does it 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 D The average, the obvious Em How I'm still discontented down here A I'm still discontented D A If we've only got one try Em Bm If we've only got one life D A If time was never on our side Em Bm D A Then before I die I want to burn out bright D So a spark ignites in time and space A Limping through this human race Em You bite and claw your way back home Bm But you??re running the wrong way Em The future is a question mark D Of kerosene and electric sparks Em There??s still fire in you yet A Yeah there??s still fire in you D A If we've only got one try Em Bm If we've only got one life D A If time was never on our side Em Bm D Then before I die I want to burn out bright A Bright Em Bm I keep cleaning up the mess I??ve made Em Bm I keep cleaning up the mess I've made A I won't run away Em Bm I can??t sleep in the bed I??ve made Em Bm A I can't sleep in the bed I've made D A If we've only got one try (We've only got one try) Em Bm If we've only got one life (We've only got one life) D A If time was never on our side (Time was never on our side) Em Bm D Then before I die I want to burn out bright Thats all, if there is any embellishment I didn't put here it follows those same chord
