Willis Avenue Bridge chords by David Berkeley

Verse 1:
Bm                         G
She's driving home Sunday morning, with the
Bm                                             G
heat turned up, the windows rolled down to the edge.
Bm                            A
And yesterday, snowed for the first time.
    D                               G

Bm                        G
boy she kissed, the first boy that she crossed.
    Bm                   A
Now everybody's in their 20s. Look who got
D                   G
married, look who's lost.

             D
Used to be a heartbreak.
A               G            D     Bm
And the fall of 100 things,
    A          G   D
the hint of an opening.

Verse 3:
Bm                           G
Days like this, it's hard to pull over, hard to hold
Bm                           G
all of the memories in your mind.
Bm                           A         D
She tries to readjust the rearview, so no one has to
              G
ever fall far behind.

Used to be much harder.

Used to be much harder.

She used to be much harder.

And the fall of 100 things,
               G   D
the hint of an opening.
       A        G   D       Bm   A
And the fall of 100 things,
                G
the hint of an opening.

Bridge:
Am                             G             D
With all the glass in New York City, it should
             C                    G         D
be harder to hide, not so hard to find your way back home.
Am                           G            D
They can take back all their pity, it's not a one-
    C                G             D
way ride, nowhere to hold on, no going home,
               C         G   D
no way to slow down.
               C         G   D
no way to slow down.
               C         G
no way to slow down.
