C                            F
I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long
         G                      F
And they built it high and they built it strong
         Am               F
Strong enough to hold the weight of time
       C                     G
Long enough to leave some of us behind


[Chorus]
          Am               F
And every one of us has to face that day
       G                          Em7
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
          F                   Fm
And every one of us that ever came to play
       C                   G    C
Has to cross the bridge or fade away

[Verse 2]
         C                     F
Standing on the bridge looking at the waves
        G                F
Seen so many jump, never seen one saved
     Am                 F
On a distant beach your song can die
     C                 G
On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide

[Chorus]
          Am               F
And every one of us has to face that day
       G                          Em7
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
          F                   Fm
And every one of us that ever came to play
       C                   G    C
Has to cross the bridge or fade away

[Verse 3]
F                 Am
And the bridge it shines
F            Am
Oh cold hard iron
       F
Saying come and risk it all
       C  G
Or die trying

[Chorus]
          Am               F
And every one of us has to face that day
       G                          Em7
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
          F                   Fm
And every one of us that ever came to play
       C                   G    C
Has to cross the bridge or fade away
