Verse 1:
Gmaj7Gmaj7            C#m7C#m7 C6#11
   I have crossed a thousand bridges,
Bm7Bm7       Am7Am7       Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11
  In my search for something real.
Gmaj7Gmaj7      D/F#D/F#       E minorEm
   There were great suspension bridges,
      Dm7Dm7   Abmaj9/Db Cmaj7Cmaj7 C6/9
Made like spider webs of steel.
      Cmaj7Cmaj7 Fmaj7Fmaj7  F#m7-5 F6#11
There were tiny wooden trestles,
        E minor 7Em7  Em7/D   A/C#A/C# C6#11
And there were bridges made of stone.
Gmaj7Gmaj7    D11D11      Gmaj7Gmaj7 Bm7/F# E minor 7Em7
   I have always been a stranger,
     A13A13  D7-9    Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11 Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11 D7-9
And I've always been alone.

Chorus 1:
     Gmaj7Gmaj7 Abdim7/G  Dm7/G G7G7
There's a bridge    to tomorrow,
Cmaj7/E             Bm7Bm7
   There's a bridge from the past.
Cmaj7Cmaj7           C6#11
   There's a bridge of sorrow,
    Bm7Bm7    E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7 D7D7
That I pray will not last.
     Gmaj7Gmaj7 Abdim7/G   Dm7/G G7G7
There's a bridge   made of colors,
Cmaj7/E       Bm7Bm7
  In the sky high above,
   Cmaj7Cmaj7         C6#11
And I think that there must be,
     A13A13 D7-9   Gmaj7Gmaj7
Bridges made out of love.

Interlude:
    D11D11 Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11 D7-9
Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11 Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11 D7-9

Verse 2:
Gmaj7Gmaj7       C#m7C#m7     C6#11
   I can see him  in the distance,
Bm7Bm7     Am7Am7    Gmaj7Gmaj7  D11D11
  On the river's other shore,
Gmaj7Gmaj7        D/F#D/F#     E minor 7Em7
   And his hands reach out in longing,
Dm7Dm7    Abmaj9/Db  Cmaj7Cmaj7 C6/9
As my own have done before.
Cmaj7Cmaj7       Fmaj7Fmaj7     F#m7-5 F6#11
   And I come across to tell him,
    E minor 7Em7   Em7/D   A/C#A/C#  C6#11
Where I believe the bridge must lie.
Gmaj7Gmaj7        D11D11      Gmaj7Gmaj7 Bm7/F# E minor 7Em7
   And I'll find it, yes I'll find it,
   A13A13   D7-9  Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11 Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11 D7-9
If I search until I die.

Chorus 2:
     Gmaj7Gmaj7 Abdim7/G  Dm7/G G7G7 G/F#
When the bridge   is between us,
Cmaj7/E            Bm7Bm7
    We'll have nothing to say.
    Cmaj7Cmaj7       C6#11
We will run through the sunlight,
     Bm7Bm7  E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7
And he'll meet me halfway.
 D7D7    Gmaj7Gmaj7 Abdim7/G   Dm7/G G7G7 G/F#
There's a bridge   made of colors,
Cmaj7/E       Bm7Bm7
  In the sky high above,
    Cmaj7Cmaj7      C6#11
And I'm certain that somewhere,
      A13A13  D7-9   Gmaj7Gmaj7 D11D11
There's a bridge made of love.
