NOTE: all chords are to be played major unless pointed differently
Intro: just pick up the strumming, it's pretty easy
E-E-B-C#  
E-E-E-B(fade)
Verse:
EOn the bridge made of stone
EStands a man all alone
BThe bridge was his motivation
C#It worked him to the bone
EWith every nail that he drove, Eit drove him farther from his own
BIn his punishing isolation, C#but the bridge just feels like home
E-E-E-B(fade)
EShe didn't feel quite the same
EShe despised the bridge and who he became
BShe left in devastation
C#She left him there in shame
EHe said, "I don't understand, Ethis was not part of the plan..."
BBut it got lost in the translation
C#Like a castle made of sand
A-B-A-B(down strokes, build up on the last chord)
(I recomend power chords for the chorus, starting with your E on the 5th string)
EIn all the years he's spenBt struggling
                        C#        A  B-A-  B  
He's been haunted at every turn
EHe fights the fear as he's Bgrowing old
C#And reminds us in all the Ahe's learned
That we build and burn
E-E-E-E  
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Interlude:
E-E-E-B-C#-A  
E-E-B-C#(verse)
EHere I am all alone
EOn that bridge made of stone
BWith smothering motivation, I'm C#working to the bone
EIn the end it's what I've known
EIt's what I hate, but have to show
BThe bridge is my dedication; tC#he bridge just feels like home
A-B-A-B(down strokes)
EIn all the years I've been Bstruggling
                        C#        A  B-A-  B  
I've been haunted at every turn
EI fight the fear as I'm grBowing old
C#And remembering all that IA've learned
That we build and burn
EIn all the years he's spenBt struggling
                        C#        A  B-A-  B  
He's been haunted at every turn
EHe fights the fear as he's Bgrowing old
C#And reminds us in all the Ahe's learned
That we build and burn
