Am                                    C
I use the dead wood to make the fire rise
G                                       D
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
Am                                      C
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
G                                    D
And poured it out in an ocean of debris
F   D
Oh, oh

Chorus:
      G               Am
I'm swimming in the smoke
                   G
Of bridges I have burned
    E          F
So don't apologize
             C             G
I'm losing what I don't deserve
  E             Am  C G D
What I don't deserve

We held our breath when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end, we were made to be apart
Like separate chambers of the human heart

Chorus:
I'm swimming in the smoke
of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I'm swimming in the smoke
of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

  E             F      C     G
What I don't deserve, woah, woah
  E             Am
What I don't deserve

I use the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
