The Bridge


This is my favorite song by this great band, it's pretty catchy and simple, hope you like it! 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: E On the bridge made of stone E Stands a man all alone B The bridge was his motivation C# It worked him to the bone E E With every nail that he drove, it drove him farther from his own B C# In his punishing isolation, but the bridge just feels like home E-E-E-B(fade) E She didn't feel quite the same E She despised the bridge and who he became B She left in devastation C# She left him there in shame E E He said, "I don't understand, this was not part of the plan..." B But 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) E B In all the years he's spent struggling C# A B-A-B He's been haunted at every turn E B He fights the fear as he's growing old C# A And reminds us in all the he'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) E Here I am all alone E On that bridge made of stone B C# With smothering motivation, I'm working to the bone E In the end it's what I've known E It's what I hate, but have to show B C# The bridge is my dedication; the bridge just feels like home A-B-A-B(down strokes) E B In all the years I've been struggling C# A B-A-B I've been haunted at every turn E B I fight the fear as I'm growing old C# A And remembering all that I've learned That we build and burn E B In all the years he's spent struggling C# A B-A-B He's been haunted at every turn E B He fights the fear as he's growing old C# A And reminds us in all the he's learned That we build and burn E-E-E-E(fade) Burn! Burn! Burn! Enjoy!
