Burn Out Bright Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Switchfoot

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

        C
Does it have to start with a broken heart
G
Broken dreams and bleeding parts
Dm
We were young and the world was clear
Am
Young ambition disappears
Dm
I swore it would never come to this
    C
The average, the obvious
Dm
How I'm still discontented down here
G
I'm still discontented

C                     G
If we've only got one try
         Dm           Am
If we've only got one life
   C                     G
If time was never on our side
       Dm           Am               C         G
Then before I die I want to burn out bright


     C
So a spark ignites in time and space
 G
Limping through this human race
    Dm
You bite and claw your way back home
           Am
But you're running the wrong way
    Dm
The future is a question mark
   C
Of kerosene and electric sparks
 Dm
There's still fire in you yet
      G
Yeah there's still fire in you

         C            G
If we've only got one try
         Dm           Am
If we've only got one life
   C                     G
If time was never on our side
      Dm            Am               C
Then before I die I want to burn out bright
  G
Bright

Dm                               Am
I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
Dm                               Am
I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
G
I won't run away
Dm                   Am
I can't sleep in the bed I've made
Dm                   Am            G
I can't sleep in the bed I've made

         C            G
If we've only got one try
(We've only got one try)
         Dm            Am
If we've only got one life
(We've only got one life)
    C                     G
If time was never on our side
(Time was never on our side)
      Dm            Am               C
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
