Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long

 And they built it high and they built it strong

 Strong enough to hold the weight of time

 Long enough to leave some of us behind

Chorus

 And every one of us has to face that day

 Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away

 And every one of us that ever came to play

 Has to cross the bridge or fade away

 Standing on the bridge looking at the waves

 Seen so many jump, never seen one saved

 On a distant beach your song can die

 On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide

[repeat chorus]

And the bridge it shines

Oh cold hard iron

 Saying come and risk it all

 Or die trying
