A Better Bridge

Em

[Verse 1]
Em              G               
It's so hard to understand just 
C                   Am7
where you're coming from
          Em               
To try to see things from a 
 G                  C      Am7
different point of view
Em            G             C   
Trying not to pigeonhole or 
             Am7
simply write you off
                 Em            
But it's so much simpler if the 
 G         C     C
parody is true
             Am7     G            
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's 
       F
really you


[Chorus]
        G                          
But I refuse to buy into this tired
  Em
 narrative
        C                          
That anyone who doesn't run with me
      G
 is a fool
        G                          
And I believe together we can build
   Em
 a better bridge
               C               
That spans the breadth of stars 
                  G
connecting me to you

[Verse 2]
Em             G            C   
Sick of towing party lines 
              Am7
across the great divide
        Em             G          
Sick of human hearts reduced to 
     C      Am7
red or blue
      Em             G            
Still often times my thoughts of 
       C                Am7
you are cardboard cutout lies
             Em             G     
It's so much simpler if the parody
    C      C
 is true
             Am7     G            
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's 
       F
really you
             Am7     G            
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's 
       F
really you


[Chorus]
        G                          
But I refuse to buy into this tired
  Em
 narrative
        C

      G
 is a fool
        G                          
And I believe together we can build
   Em
 a better bridge
               C

                  G
connecting me to you


[Bridge]
         F                 Am7
Why's it so hard to just remember
         F                     
That you have a past, a face, a 
        Am7
heart, a name?
         F                 Am7
Oh, it's so hard to just remember, 
yeah
         F                         
That we are less different than we 
        Em   G  C
are the same
Em  G         C
        But I have to try


[Chorus]
        G                          
But I refuse to buy into this tired
  Em
 narrative
        C                          
That anyone who doesn't run with me
      G
 is a fool
        G                          
And I believe together we can build
   Em
 a better bridge
               C               
That spans the breadth of stars 
  Am7             G
connecting me to you (2x)
