G        C        G       D
G        C        G       D

[Verse 1]
G                            C                   G           D
Every day I walk out in this torn up world and I fight to survive,
    G                              C            G    D
I'm laughing when I make it to the Saturday and I'm alive;
              G             C        G       D
carrying your smile with me,
              G             C        G       D
carrying your smile with me.

[Verse 2]
G                            C                        G                D
Everywhere I look I see this world slippin' down that low road, day by day,
G                            C                 G             D
I just go on working for the things I need and making my own way;
              G              C        G       D
carrying your smile with me,   oh yea,
              G              C        G       D
carrying your smile with me.

[Bridge]
C                                     D        G
  Take a walk on the troubled side of this old town,
C                                           G
  take a walk on the broken streets and the buildings falling down.
C                                         D                G
  Look at all these kids with nothing but trouble in their eyes,
Am                 G                        D*
  trouble in their future, trouble in their lives.

[Chorus]
G*                 G*
  Some bridges are falling down,
G*                 Em*    D*
  some bridges are still around.

[Interlude]
G        C        G       D
G        C        G       D

[Bridge]
C                             D       G
  Take a walk on the shaded uptown avenue,
C                               G
  some people are doing well no   matter how they do.
C                                      D          G
  And I know there's more to life than   what you own
      Am*              G*      D*
but I see so many good things, things I've never known.

[Chorus]
G*                 G*
  Some bridges are falling down,
G*                 Em*    D*
  some bridges are still around.

[Verse 3]
G*                                C*               G*          D*
Every night I listen to the sound   of the street, lying in my bed,
  G*                              C*                   G*               D*
I love to see the dreams that are dancing there in the light above your head.
    G*                 C*             G*                  D*
And sometimes I get so weary and when hope is caving in,
    G*                              C*                      G*           D*
you fill me with your love and your laughter, baby, until I get back up again.

[Outro]
              G                                                   C
Carrying your smile with me (Take a walk on the streets of this divided town)
              G                                                     D
Carrying your smile with me (Take a walk on the smoking edge of the battleground)
              G                                            C
Carrying your smile with me (Take a look at the situation,   the poverty and the desperation)
G                                   Em           D
  (Take the time for the realization) Everyday I'm carrying your [Outro 2] smile with me.

[Outro 2]
G                  C             G               Em         D
  Some bridges are falling down,   carrying your smile with me.
G                  C             G               Em         D
  Some bridges are falling down,   carrying your smile with me.
