[Intro]
| Am     | Am     | Am     | Am     |
| Am     | Am     | G      | G      |
| F      | F      | G      | Ab7    |
| Am     | Am     |
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am                            G
  It began in the underground,  with visions of light and sound
F            Dm7                 Am
 The music revealing the deepest passion
Am                        G
  Around us a river raged,  still I knew that the scene was staged
F             Dm7          G
 Awaiting the consequence, I don't believe in accidents
 
 
[Chorus]
     F       Dm              F         G
It's all too real, all these things we feel
       F        Dm           F    G
As the years go by, things intensify
      Am   C          Dm         C    F
And I know,  for each life there is a reason
G     Am   C          Dm         C    F
And I know,  for each time there is a season
        F            Dm       F        G
Now the bridge leads on, to a brighter dawn
                 Am
It's waiting for me
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                               G
  We were tied by a bond of fate, in our hearts we could feel the weight
F         Dm7                  Am
 Carried along by the winds of fortune
Am                            G
  The outcome was never known,  and our purpose was never shown
F               Dm7                G
'Til everything fell in place, the words on the wall we could not erase
 
 
[Chorus]
     F       Dm              F         G
It's all too real, all these things we feel
       F        Dm           F    G
As the years go by, things intensify
      Am   C          Dm         C    F
And I know,  for each life there is a reason
G     Am   C          Dm         C    F
And I know,  for each time there is a season
        F            Dm       F        G
Now the bridge leads on, to a brighter dawn
                 Am    E
It's waiting for me
 
 
[Bridge]
     Am       C        D              Am         G  Dm
Each piece is arranged,  the puzzle's complete
Am        C     D             Am      C
Victory's taste   is so bittersweet
G                  F             G
No regrets for the time that was lost
                 Dm         G     Em
For it all comes out in the end
        G        Dm            F             G
And the prize is worth all the tears that it cost
                 Dm    F
For the stairway you ascend
G          Am     C  F
Drawing us near
     G          Am     G
It's where we belong

[Verse 3]
Am                            G
  The world has a lot to give,  but it's worthless if you don't live
F              Dm7                    Am
 And life only comes from the one who made it
Am                                G
When I look back and see the plan,  when I retrace the race we ran
F                  Dm7                  G
 The course was so clear and true, each bridge that we crossed led me straight to you
 
 
[Chorus]
     F       Dm              F         G
It's all too real, all these things we feel
       F        Dm           F    G
As the years go by, things intensify
      Am   C          Dm         C    F
And I know,  for each life there is a reason
G     Am   C          Dm         C    F
And I know,  for each time there is a season
        F            Dm       F        G
Now the bridge leads on, to a brighter dawn
                 Am
It's waiting for me
