Cross over the bridge

D

1. If you're a guy who's had a gal in each and every port,

E A

and you've forgot the rules of love that life has always taught,

D G Em

and if you broke as many hearts as ripples in a stream,

D A D

well, brother, here's the only way that you can be redeemed.

D

Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge,

- E A

change your reckless way of livin', cross over the bridge !

D D7 G E

Leave your fickle past behind you, and true romance will find you,

Bm - A D - A

brother, cross over the bridge !

D

2. If you have built a boat to take you to the greener side,

E A

and if that boat is built of ev'ry lie you ever lied,

D G Em

you'll never reach the Promised Land of love, I guarantee,

D A D

'cause lies cannot hold water and you'll sink into the sea.

D

3. I know it isn't easy to resist temptation's call,

E A

but think of how your broken heart will hurt you when you fall,

D G Em

'cause some day you will find that you are hopelessly in love,

D A D

and she'll belong to someone else as sure as stars above.

G D

Cross over the bridge !
