[Intro]
G Bm D G
[Verse 1]
G Bm
You're on your side and I'm on mine
G
And in between this great divide
Bm
There's fire in the streets
A D G
People on their knees
Bm
Holding Bibles and breaking glass
D G
Guns and armor, tears and gas
Bm
If smoke is all we see
D G
How we supposed to breathe?
[Chorus]
Bm
What if we took these stones we've been throwin'?
D G
What if we laid 'em down?
Bm
What if we forget all that we know and
D G
Make some common ground?
A Bm
What if I reach for you, you reach for me, close the distance?
D G
What if that space between changed, if we started building
D
(bridges, bridges, bridges)
[Verse 2]
G Bm
I know you're scared and so am I
G
But that don't mean we shouldn't try
A Bm
It ain't just black or white
D G
It's down to wrong or right
[Chorus]
Bm
What if we took these stones we've been throwin'?
D G
What if we laid 'em down?
Bm
What if we forget all that we know and
D G
Make some common ground?
A Bm
What if I reach for you, you reach for me, close the distance?
D G
What if that space between changed, if we started building
D Bm D G
(bridges, bridges, bridges?)
[Bridge]
Bm
We're gonna need more than prayers and wishes
D G
To build those bridges, bridges, bridges
Bm
It's gonna take way more work to fix it
D G
Gotta build those bridges, bridges, bridges
[Chorus]
Bm
We gotta take these stones we've been throwin'
D G
We gotta lay them down
Bm
We gotta forget all that we know and
D G
Make some common ground
Bm
What if I reach for you, you reach for me, close the distance?
D G
What if that space between changed, if we started building
D Bm
(bridges, bridges, bridges)
[Outro]
D G
(bridges, bridges, bridges)
Bm
Gonna build those bridges, bridges, bridges
D G
(bridges, bridges, bridges)
