[Intro] C [Verse 1]
     C                       Am
They say there's a bridge up there

Dm       C           G
Up there in the mist

C                   Am
Some will deny it's there

Dm          C                      G
Others will tell you it don't even exist
[Verse 2]
         F           C   G         Am
It's not made of iron or steel nor stone

       Dm        C      G
Yet it spans the rising waters

F      G                     Am
We are but bags of blood and bone

      Dm               C               G
If we carry the weight of our sons and our daughters
[Chorus]
    F        C         G      Am
And now that feels are rather drowned

       Dm       C      G
And we climb up to the ridge

F         G               Am
Some will seek the higher ground

Dm         G          C
Some of us the bridge
[Verse 3]
   C             Am G
If all is bеhind us now

  Dm       C       G
Beneath us swollen rivеr

    C              G        Am
The bridge we will find somehow

Dm   C                  G
Only then we would be delivered
[Verse 4]
       F         C        G    Am
Though some will claim to be inclined

       Dm      C          G
It's a figment or a ghost

        F         G               Am
But the bridge is deep inside the mind

Dm        C       G
Invisible to most
[Chorus]
    F       C          G   Am
And now the city's all but drowned

    Dm    C       G
And here upon the ridge

F         G               Am
Some will seek the higher ground

Dm         G          C
Some of us the bridge
[Outro]
F              G          Am
We'll open the gates that we may follow

Dm       C         G
Open the bridge to all of us

F             G    Am
Open the floodgate to the river

Dm       C           G            C
Open the bridge that we may cross
