       A7M                D#m7     E/D
I have crossed a thousand bridges
      A7M        Bm7/4/A   A7M   Bm7/4/A
In my search for something real
          A7M      E/G#    F#m7     Bm7
There are great suspension brigdes
          G/A    A7      D7M
Made like spider webs of steel
          G7M         G#m5-/7   C#m7
There are tiny wooden trestles
          F#m7   F#m/E           D#m7   E/D
And there are    bridges made of stone
       A7M    Bm7/4/A A7M      F#m7
I have always been a stranger
         Bm7    E7/9  A7M   E7/4
And I've always been alone
          A7M         G/A   A7/9   F#m7
There's a bridge to
                          C#m7
There's a bridge from the past
          D7M    E/D     C#m7
There's a bridge made of sorrow
       F#m7          Bm7   E7/9
That I pray will not last
          A7M            G/A  A7/9  F#m7
There's a bridge made of co...lors
                 C#m7
In the sky high above
      D7M              D/E      Bm7
And I think that there must be
             E7/9   A9    A9    A9/7+   A9   Bm7/A   Bm7/A    Bm7/6/A   Bm7/A
Bridges made out of love
      A7M            D#m7     E/D
I can see her in the distance
       A7M     Bm7/4/A A7M   Bm7/4/A
On the river's other   shore
        A7M   E/G#      F#m7     Bm7
And her hands reach out longing
      G/A      A7     D7M
As my own have done before
      G7M            G#m5-/7   C#m7
And I call across to tell him
          F#m7      F#m/E       D#m7   E/D
Where I believe the bridge must lie
         A7M      Bm7/4/A  A7M      F#m7
And I'll find it, yes I'll find it
     Bm7      E7/9  A7M   E7/4
If I search until I die
         A7M          G/A  A7/9   F#m7
When the bridge is between us
                      C#m7
We'll have nothing to say
        D7M E/D         C#m7
We will run through the sun light
         F#m7         Bm7   E7/9
And I'll meet him halfway
          A7M            G/A  A7/9  F#m7
There's a bridge made of co...lors
                 C#m7
In the sky high above
        D7M          D/E       Bm7
And I'm certain that somewhere
          E7/9           A9    A9    A9/7+   A9   Bm7/A   Bm7/A    Bm7/6/A   Bm7/A
There's a bridge made of love.
