Intro: A9 A9 A9/7+ A9 Bm7/A Bm7/A Bm7/6/A Bm7/A
A7M D#m7 E/D
I have crossed a thousand bridges
A7M Bm7/4/A A7M Bm7/4/A
In my search for something real
A7M E/G# F#m7 Bm7
There are great suspension brigdes
G/A A7 D7M
Made like spider webs of steel
G7M G#m5-/7 C#m7
There are tiny wooden trestles
F#m7 F#m/E D#m7 E/D
And there are bridges made of stone
A7M Bm7/4/A A7M F#m7
I have always been a stranger
Bm7 E7/9 A7M E7/4
And I've always been alone
A7M G/A A7/9 F#m7
There's a bridge to
C#m7
There's a bridge from the past
D7M E/D C#m7
There's a bridge made of sorrow
F#m7 Bm7 E7/9
That I pray will not last
A7M G/A A7/9 F#m7
There's a bridge made of co...lors
C#m7
In the sky high above
D7M D/E Bm7
And I think that there must be
E7/9 A9 A9 A9/7+ A9 Bm7/A Bm7/A Bm7/6/A Bm7/A
Bridges made out of love
A7M D#m7 E/D
I can see her in the distance
A7M Bm7/4/A A7M Bm7/4/A
On the river's other shore
A7M E/G# F#m7 Bm7
And her hands reach out longing
G/A A7 D7M
As my own have done before
G7M G#m5-/7 C#m7
And I call across to tell him
F#m7 F#m/E D#m7 E/D
Where I believe the bridge must lie
A7M Bm7/4/A A7M F#m7
And I'll find it, yes I'll find it
Bm7 E7/9 A7M E7/4
If I search until I die
A7M G/A A7/9 F#m7
When the bridge is between us
C#m7
We'll have nothing to say
D7M E/D C#m7
We will run through the sun light
F#m7 Bm7 E7/9
And I'll meet him halfway
A7M G/A A7/9 F#m7
There's a bridge made of co...lors
C#m7
In the sky high above
D7M D/E Bm7
And I'm certain that somewhere
E7/9 A9 A9 A9/7+ A9 Bm7/A Bm7/A Bm7/6/A Bm7/A
There's a bridge made of love.
