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
