[Verse 1]
[G]Whe[C]n y[A]ou'[Dsus4]re[C]
[G]down,
[C]when you're on [G]the street,
[C]Whe[F]n evening[C] fal[G]ls so har[C]d,
[D]I w[G]ill come for you,
[C]I'l[G]l take y[D]our h[Em]eart.[D]
When dark[G]ness comes
and pain is [C]all [A]around[D]
[G]Like a [C]bridge over
[Em]troubled waters
[Am]I'll be there [Dsus4]to lay[C]
me [G]down[C][G][C]
[Dsus4]When you'[G]re wear[C]y, feel smal[G]l
[C]When [F]tears [C]are in [G]your eyes,
I [C]will, I [G]will dry [C]them off.[G]
I'm [D]on [Em]your [D]side when [C]times [G]get
[C]rough.[A][D][G]
[C][Em]
I [Am]will [Dsus4]lay me do[D]wn[Em]
[Dm]just [G]like a [C]bridge over
[C]troubled wa[Ebaug]ter s[Em]
[Am]I'll [Bb]be there [C]to [G]lay
Yes, I [C]will, I'll [G]be your bridge
[C]When you're out of [G]your truck
Bridge over the water
[C]Let me be your bri[G]dge
Better be
[C]See child, I'll walk with you
[G]Bridge over
And I'll talk with [C]you
I'll [Gm]hold your hand
[G]when everybody else nee[C]ds it
I'll be your [G]bridge, I'll be your bridge
[C]Let me [Bb]be your bridge
[G]Bet[C]ter be
If you don't know [G]which way to go
Bridge over wa[C]ter
Every [G]time you get [F]a little lonely
[G]I'll be your bri[C]dge
It makes my mind [G]run back
to the time in the world
[C]when this little man had laid
by the pool [G]of shalom
all of his life. He couldn't [C]walk.
And you know every once in a [G]while
the water would get trouble.
[C]God would send an angel down
to trouble [G]the waters.
And whatever disease you had,
[C]whatever infirmity you had,
all you had to do was step [G]in the water.
And when the [C]water got troubled,
everything [G]would be alright.
[C]The pain would go.
And this little man was laying there
for [G]38 long years.
And you see he didn't have friends
[C]and he didn't have family.
[G]And so when the water got troubled,
he would try to pull his way to the [C]water.
And one day Jesus showed [G]up .
And he said, what you doing?
He [C]said, every time the water gets troubled,
I don't have [G]nobody to put
me in the pool.
Jesus [C]touched him
and said, rise up [G]and walk.
You don't need [C]nobody.
All you need is [G]me, my Lord.
[C]Yeah, see, I'll be your [G]bridge.
Oh [C]yes, I will.
I'll be your wa[G]ter.
Uh -huh.
And [C]you know, the little woman at the well,
he [G]met this little woman,
and she had [C]already had six husbands,
but she was about to meet the [G]seventh.
And he said, what you doing?
[C]She said, I'm drawing water.
He said, [G]put your bucket down,
because if you [C]drink of this water,
you'll never have [G]to thirst again.
Let [C]me tell you something,
he'll be rich,
[G]he'll be your water[C],
he'll give you a [G]drink
when everybody else [C]leave you,
he'll [C]be your [G]friend, oh yes he [C]will,
he'll walk with [G]you,
He'll talk with the youth,
he'll dry the tears from your eyes.
Let me be your bridge,
let me be your bridge.
