This is my favorite song by this great band, it's pretty catchy and simple, hope you like it!
NOTE: all chords are to be played major unless pointed differently
Intro: just pick up the strumming, it's pretty easy
E-E-B-C#
E-E-E-B(fade)
Verse:
E
On the bridge made of stone
E
Stands a man all alone
B
The bridge was his motivation
C#
It worked him to the bone
E E
With every nail that he drove, it drove him farther from his own
B C#
In his punishing isolation, but the bridge just feels like home
E-E-E-B(fade)
E
She didn't feel quite the same
E
She despised the bridge and who he became
B
She left in devastation
C#
She left him there in shame
E E
He said, "I don't understand, this was not part of the plan..."
B
But it got lost in the translation
C#
Like a castle made of sand
A-B-A-B(down strokes, build up on the last chord)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_loved_ones/the_bridge_crd.html ]
(I recomend power chords for the chorus, starting with your E on the 5th string)
E B
In all the years he's spent struggling
C# A B-A-B
He's been haunted at every turn
E B
He fights the fear as he's growing old
C# A
And reminds us in all the he's learned
That we build and burn
E-E-E-E
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Interlude:
E-E-E-B-C#-A
E-E-B-C#(verse)
E
Here I am all alone
E
On that bridge made of stone
B C#
With smothering motivation, I'm working to the bone
E
In the end it's what I've known
E
It's what I hate, but have to show
B C#
The bridge is my dedication; the bridge just feels like home
A-B-A-B(down strokes)
E B
In all the years I've been struggling
C# A B-A-B
I've been haunted at every turn
E B
I fight the fear as I'm growing old
C# A
And remembering all that I've learned
That we build and burn
E B
In all the years he's spent struggling
C# A B-A-B
He's been haunted at every turn
E B
He fights the fear as he's growing old
C# A
And reminds us in all the he's learned
That we build and burn
E-E-E-E(fade)
Burn!
Burn!
Burn!
Enjoy!
