Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Eve[F]ry [C]bridge that
you [F]keep on burning
[C]Every leaf that you kee[F]p on turning
[C]Every road that you fin[F]d uncertain
[G]Pray for you [Am]now, baby,
that you'll [G]figure it [Am]out
As [F]you keep chasing the light

[Verse 2]
[C]Remember bac[F]k when
you slept on my floor
Blow up mattress [Dm]down by
[F]the door[C]
10 pounds [Am]heaver from wasted time
[G]We didn't [F]know we were way out of line

[Verse 3]
From the moment that you popped out on [F]the scene
Hard to [C]know what you [F]got
or your [C]meant to be
[Am]Everything that you know goes flying
From [G]Johnny O's coach
to a [Am]gypsy bus island

[Verse 4]
[C]Holding[F] hands with people in life
Till [C]they walk [F]away saying no good byes
And [G]you keep saying that you're
[Am]running down a dream
But she [G]don't know where
it lead[Am]s
As you keep [F]chasing the [G]light

[Verse 5]
[C]Every bri[F]dge that you keep on burning
[C]Every lea[F]f that you keep on turning
[C]Every roa[F]d that you find uncertain
[G]Pray for you [Am]now, baby,
that you'll [G]figure it [Am]out

[Verse 6]
[C]Every hop[F]e and dream that's dying
[C]Every tim[F]e that I see you crying
[C]Every ste[F]p that you keep on climbing
[G]Pray for you [Am]now, baby,
that you [G]figure it [Am]out
As you keep [F]chasing the [G]light

[Verse 7]
[C]Got the cal[F]l that you sent
out yesterday
[C]40 lines and a [F]fallout [C]holiday
On my knees with the
[Am]weight that was mine
[G]Think about you when I'm
[F]driving at night

[Verse 8]
Familiar sounds and it takes me right back [F]there
Bridge street and the beat
in the summer air
[C]Was it easier to was[Am]h your feet
And never [G]deal with the hell
that a [Am]young boy [C]sees

[Verse 9]
Where liquor [F]runs thicker than blood
[C]On you[F]r own when push came to shove
[C]Before we had[Am] these mouths
to feed with [G]innocent dreams
[Am]While you keep chasi[F]ng the light[G]

[Verse 10]
[C]Every bri[F]dge that you keep on burning
[C]Every lea[F]f that you keep on turning
[C]Every roa[F]d that you find uncertain
[G]Pray for you [Am]now, baby,
that you'll [G]figure it [Am]out

[Verse 11]
[C]Every hop[F]e and dream that's dying
[C]Every tim[F]e that I see you crying
[C]Every ste[F]p that you keep on climbing
[G]Pray for you [Am]now, baby,
that you [G]figure it [Am]out
As you keep [F]chasing the [G]light

[Verse 12]
[Am]Remember hearing
Dylan's first songs first
[F]Remember writing down
a train wreck verse
[C]We were running down Franklin
high school lights
[G]Burning alive in a Chevrolet night

[Verse 13]
[Am]Remember driving out to Salton sea
[F]Dreaming bout all we thought we'd be
[C]One way tickets into southern lights
[G]Slammed the door and said good[Am]bye,
[F]goo[C]dbye[F]

[Verse 14]
[C]Every bri[F]dge that you keep on burning
[C]Every lea[F]f that you keep on turning
[C]Every roa[F]d that you find uncertain
[G]Pray for you [Am]now, baby,
that you'll [G]figure it [Am]out

[Verse 15]
[C]Every hop[F]e and dream that's dying
[C]Every tim[F]e that I see you crying
[C]Every ste[F]p that you keep on climbing
[G]Pray for you [Am]now, baby,
that you [G]figure it [Am]out
As you keep [G]chasing [C]the [G]light
