Verse: 
       Am7               G             F             C      Am7  G  F  C 
We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well 
   Am7           G            F                 C     Am7  G  F  C 
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell 
           Am7            G              F           C   Am7  G  F  C 
But we are not snakes and what?s more we never will be  
           Am7               G               F          C  Am7  G  F  C 
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free  
 
                        G                   C   
I heard ?em ringin? the bells in heaven and hell 
             G                            Am 
They got a secret they?re gettin ready to tell 
                          F                   C    F    
Its fallin? from the skies, callin? from the graves 
Am7        G         F            C   
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved 
Am7        G         F            C    
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved 
                                F                       C 
Let?s take a walk on the Bridge  right over this mess 
                         G                          Am 
Don?t need to tell me a thing baby, we?re already confessed 
                            Dm                 C    F  
And I raise my voice to the air, and we were blessed  
F            C     F            C      
It's hard to give, It's hard to get 
         F           C           G  C    Am7  G  F  C    C    Am7  G  F  C  
But everybody needs a little forgiveness

        Am7               G          F            C   Am7  G  F  C 
We are calling for help tonight on a thin phone line 
   Am7          G                    F          C     Am7  G  F  C 
As ususal we?re havin? ourselves one helluva time 
        Am7                     G                     
And the planes keep flyin? right over our heads  
         F              C     Am7   G    F     C   
No matter how loud we shout, Hey...Hey...Hey... 
            Am7                               G                        
And we keep wavin? and wavin? our arms in the air  
                 F    C   Am7  G  F  C    
But we?re all tired out 
                              
 
                 G                 C   
I heard somebody say,  Today?s the day 
           G                            Am 
A big old hurricane...she?s blowin? our way 
                  F                          C      F    
Knockin? over the buildings, Killin? all the lights 
Am7        G             F                 C   
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night 
Am7        G             F                 C   
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night 
 
 
Chorus: 
                         F                       C 
Let?s take a walk on the Bridge  right over this mess 
                         G                          Am 
Don?t need to tell me a thing baby, we?re already confessed 
                            Dm                 C    F  
And I raise my voice to the air, and we were blessed  
F           C     F           C      
It's hard to give, It's hard to get 
F           C          F                           C  
Its hard to live baby, still I think it's the best bet 
        F         C            G              Am   
Hey now, hard to give, and I?m never gonna forget 
          F           C           G   
But everybody needs a little forgiveness      
     F            C          G  C    Am7  G  F  C           
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
