Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9

Ooh..

[Verse 1]

Gmaj7 C#m7 C6#11

I have crossed a thousand bridges,

Bm7 Am7 Gmaj7 D11

In my search for something real.

Gmaj7 D/F# Em

There were great suspension bridges,

Dm7 Abmaj9/Db Cmaj7 C6/9

Made like spider webs of steel.

Cmaj7 Fmaj7 F#m7-5 F6#11

There were tiny wooden trestles,

Em7 Em7/D A/C# C6#11

And there were bridges made of stone.

Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 Bm7/F# Em7

I have always been a stranger,

A13 D7-9 Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9

And I've always been alone.

[Chorus 1]

Gmaj7 Abdim7/G Dm7/G G7

There's a bridge to tomorrow,

Cmaj7/E Bm7

There's a bridge from the past.

Cmaj7 C6#11

There's a bridge of sorrow,

Bm7 Em7 Dm7 D7

That I pray will not last.

Gmaj7 Abdim7/G Dm7/G G7

There's a bridge made of colors,

Cmaj7/E Bm7

In the sky high above,

Cmaj7 C6#11

And I think that there must be,

A13 D7-9 Gmaj7

Bridges made out of love.

[Interlude]

D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9

[Verse 2]

Gmaj7 C#m7 C6#11

I can see him in the distance,

Bm7 Am7 Gmaj7 D11

On the river's other shore,

Gmaj7 D/F# Em7

And his hands reach out in longing,

Dm7 Abmaj9/Db Cmaj7 C6/9

As my own have done before.

Cmaj7 Fmaj7 F#m7-5 F6#11

And I come across to tell him,

Em7 Em7/D A/C# C6#11

Where I believe the bridge must lie.

Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 Bm7/F# Em7

And I'll find it, yes I'll find it,

A13 D7-9 Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9

If I search until I die.

[Chorus 2]

Gmaj7 Abdim7/G Dm7/G G7 G/F#

When the bridge is between us,

Cmaj7/E Bm7

We'll have nothing to say.

Cmaj7 C6#11

We will run through the sunlight,

Bm7 Em7 Dm7

And he'll meet me halfway.

D7 Gmaj7 Abdim7/G Dm7/G G7 G/F#

There's a bridge made of colors,

Cmaj7/E Bm7

In the sky high above,

Cmaj7 C6#11

And I'm certain that somewhere,

A13 D7-9 Gmaj7 D11

There's a bridge made of love.

[Coda]

Gmaj7 D11 D7-9

La la...

Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9

La la....

Gmaj7 D11 Gmaj7 D11 D7-9
