Intro:

A


Verse 1:
A
On a bridge made of stone
                   E
stands a man all alone
                        F#m
The bridge was his motivation
   D                 A
it worked him to the bone

With every nail that he drove
                            E
drove him farther from his own
               F#m
punishing isolation
      D                     A
The bridge just feels like home


Verse 2:
A
She didn't feel quite the same
                                   E
she despised the bridge and who he became
                 F#m
She left in devastation
 D                A
left him there in shame

He said "I don't understand"
                       E
It's not part of the plan
                              F#m
But it got lost in the translation
     D                  A
like a castle made of sand


Chorus:
A                            E
In all the years he's spent struggling
          F#m                D
He's been haunted at every turn
A                            E
He fights the fear as he's growing old
    F#m                         D
He remembers all that he's learned
we build and burn


Verse 3:
A
Here I am all alone
                        E
On that bridge made of stone
                     F#m
Got smothering motivation
    D                   A
I've been working to the bone

In the end it's what I've known
                                E
It's what I hate but I have to show
                      F#m
The bridge is my dedication
      D                     A
The bridge just feels like home


Chorus:
A                           E
In all the years I've been struggling
          F#m                 D
I've been haunted at every turn
A                    E
Fighting fear as I'm growing old
          F#m                          D
Trying to remember all that I've learned
we build and burn

A                           E
In all the years I've been struggling
          F#m                 D
I've been haunted at every turn
A                    E
Fighting fear as I'm growing old
          F#m                          D
Trying to remember all that I've learned
we build and burn
