A Better Bridge chords by Thrice

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Em

Verse 1:
Em       G        C          Am7
It's so hard to understand just where you're coming from
     Em        G         C   Am7
To try to see things from a different point of view
Em      G       C        Am7
Trying not to pigeonhole or simply write you off
         Em       G     C   C
But it's so much simpler if the parody is true
       Am7   G          F
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you

Chorus:
    G              Em
But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
    C                G
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
    G               Em
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
        C                 G
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you


Verse 2:
Em       G      C         Am7
Sick of towing party lines across the great divide
    Em       G        C   Am7
Sick of human hearts reduced to red or blue
   Em       G          C        Am7
Still often times my thoughts of you are cardboard cutout lies
       Em       G     C   C
It's so much simpler if the parody is true
       Am7   G          F
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you
       Am7   G          F
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you


Chorus:
    G              Em
But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
    C                G
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
    G               Em
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
        C                 G
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you


Bridge:
     F         Am7
Why's it so hard to just remember
     F               Am7
That you have a past, a face, a heart, a name?
     F         Am7
Oh, it's so hard to just remember, yeah
     F                 Em  G C
That we are less different than we are the same
Em G     C
    But I have to try


Chorus:
    G              Em
But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
    C                G
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
    G               Em
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
        C         Am7       G
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you (2x)
