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:
EOn (022100@1)the bridge made of stone
EStands (022100@1)a man all alone
BThe (x2444x@1)bridge was his motivation
C#It (x43121@1)worked him to the bone
E (022100@1)                            EWith (022100@1)every nail that he drove, it drove him farther from his own
B (x2444x@1)                         C#In (x43121@1)his punishing isolation, but the bridge just feels like home

E-E-E-B(fade)

EShe (022100@1)didn't feel quite the same
EShe (022100@1)despised the bridge and who he became
BShe (x2444x@1)left in devastation
C#She (x43121@1)left him there in shame

E (022100@1)                          EHe (022100@1)said, "I don't understand, this was not part of the plan..."
BBut (x2444x@1)it got lost in the translation
C# (x43121@1)                 
Like a castle made of sand

A-B-A-B(down strokes, build up on the last chord)

(I recomend power chords for the chorus, starting with your E on the 5th string)
E (022100@1)                       BIn (x2444x@1)all the years he's spent struggling
C# (x43121@1)                      A (x02220@1)    B-A-B  
He's been haunted at every turn
E (022100@1)                       BHe (x2444x@1)fights the fear as he's growing old
C# (x43121@1)                      AAnd (x02220@1)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)

EHere (022100@1)I am all alone
EOn (022100@1)that bridge made of stone
B (x2444x@1)                            C#With (x43121@1)smothering motivation, I'm working to the bone

EIn (022100@1)the end it's what I've known
EIt's (022100@1)what I hate, but have to show
B (x2444x@1)                           C#The (x43121@1)bridge is my dedication; the bridge just feels like home

A-B-A-B(down strokes)

E (022100@1)                       BIn (x2444x@1)all the years I've been struggling

I've been haunted at every turn
E (022100@1)                       BI (x2444x@1)fight the fear as I'm growing old
C# (x43121@1)                      AAnd (x02220@1)remembering all that I've learned
