Burning Bridges Breaking Hearts

Arcade Fire

Transposer:

Tabbed by: Schimdt Email: Great song from Arcade Fire’s Funeral period (best period imo). Been bothering myself over the fact that there was no tab for this so I went ahead and gave it a shot. Standard tuning no capo In this song both Win and Rich are on guitars. I marked where only Rich is playing. Intro: Let all these chords ring except for the regular C. Just do some down strokes on it. (Listen to the song you’ll get it) Verse: For the first to verses let the chords ring as well except for the C. each line. (Again listen in and you’ll here it) Burning bridges breaking hearts Everything you taught us to do We’re burning bridges and breaking hearts No home to come home to We’re burning bridges and breaking hearts I won’t look you in the eye And burning bridges breaking hearts Caught you in a friendship lie (This verse is only played by Rich. Let these chords ring) Took a visit to your old house The windows were all boarded up Try to hold these memories The ocean in a paper cup There’s no future in this town They barricade the buildings there To the lion you’ve been cast Only bones are gonna last Chorus (Or some such): Both guitars play this. The whole thing is tremolo picked. For the most accurate sound make sure to slide between the notes: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--16--------9--8---11-5----7--5----16------9-8---15---11-12-13-------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| It ends on Ab and then goes back into the verse chords. Like so (Again this verse is only played by Rich chords ring): There’s a city underground There’s a city made of glass There’s a city underground Hurry cause it’s breaking fast We’re burning bridges breaking hearts Everything you taught us to do We’re burning bridges and breaking hearts No home to come home to We’re burning bridges breaking hearts We’re burning bridges and breaking hearts We’re burning bridges breaking hearts Breaking hearts Here the song goes into a new chorus like thing where both guitars play the following in tremolo picking: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--19---9-8--15--11---6--5--10-9--------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| That repeats while Win sings first verse over it. Song ends on Abm

La chanson évoque des thèmes de rupture et de désillusion, décrivant comment des relations se détériorent et comment les souvenirs d'un passé révolu peuvent devenir pesants. L'artiste parle de l'absence d'un endroit où se sentir chez soi, symbolisant une quête d'identité dans un monde qui ne semble plus offrir de refuge. Les images de ponts qui brûlent et de cœurs brisés illustrent la douleur des adieux et des promesses non tenues. En parallèle, le texte souligne le sentiment d'isolement et d'errance dans une ville sans avenir, un lieu figé dans le temps et marqué par des souvenirs difficiles. C'est un mélange poignant de nostalgie et de tristesse, révélant un chemin parsemé d'épreuves et de désenchantement.
