Intro:
Gmaj7  D11  Gmaj7  D11 D7-9
La la....
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
Gmaj7  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.
