Old Bridges Burn Slow (CHORDS) by Billy Joe Royal

[INTRO]~
A


A                E A
Here we go round a-gain,.. masquerading as long
lost friends,.. cause a memory never dies,..

                                         D
it kinda fades into a lie and what do you know..?


[CHORUS]~
D                E                      A
Still waters run deep,.. old bridges burn slow!

A                E
Still waters run deep now,.. baby,.. old bridges

    A
burn slow!


A
Let's chalk it all up to our youth,.. that's one
way to hide from the truth!
I never asked you for a thing and if I had you

          E        D
would have told me,.. so!


[CHORUS]~
D                E                      A
Still waters run deep,.. old bridges burn slow!

A                E
Still waters run deep now,.. baby,.. old bridges

    A
burn slow!


[BRIDGE]~
   D
But how many years did I chase after you,.. all my

G
mind would allow!

               B
But now I can't break off the past and even if I

    E
knew how!
(Ahhhh,.. I wouldn't tell it to you,.. baby!)


[INTERLUDE]~
E Gbm A D E A


A
So,.. why don't we call it a day,.. I got nothing else
left to say,.. cause a dream we both dreamt

                                         D
Was just a last ditch attempt to stop the flow!


[CHORUS]~
D                E                      A
Still waters run deep,.. old bridges burn slow!

A                E
Still waters run deep now,.. baby,.. old bridges

    A
burn slow!

A                     E
In a way I know and I know,.. don't you know they

    A
burn slow!

                E                      A
Still waters run deep,.. old bridges burn slow!

                            E
