[Chorus]
C F
They say the Brooklyn Bridge is a work of art,
C F
And the East River collects its broken hearts,
C F
And at 80 miles an hour you can hit that water pretty hard,
C
Ain't that better than living,
F
'til you just fall apart?
[Verse 1]
G F
And I left a note up there to explain,
G F
She stopped loving me today,
G F
She picked a terrible place to tell me about him,
G F
'Cause she knows darn well that I can’t fly and I can’t swim.
[Chorus]
C F
They say the Brooklyn Bridge is a work of art
C F
And the East River collects its broken hearts
C F
80 miles an hour you can hit that water pretty hard
C F
Me, I hit the soft spot on a garbage barge
[Verse 2]
G F
And the tug boat captain asked if I was in any pain
G F
And I said "Well, I left a note up there to explain"
G F
Then she laughed and said "Oh, I've seen your kind before"
G F
Gave me a shot of whiskey and said "Don’t worry boy, We got more"
F
And then she said "Ya know”
[Chorus]
C F
They say the Brooklyn Bridge is a work of art
C F
And the East River collects its broken hearts
C F
And at 80 miles an hour you can hit that water pretty hard
C F
But you got lucky, you got a brand new start"
[Verse 3]
G F
And I said "Well, it don’t take long to fall from that height”
G F
And I can tell you that when you do you do get to see your whole life
G F
Some of what you see will really open up your eyes
G F
For instance I saw that that woman up there would’ve made me a shitty wife"
[Chorus]
C F
They say the Brooklyn Bridge is a work of art
C F
And the East River collects its broken hearts
C F
Me I traded mine in for what I think might be a broken arm
C F
Some whiskey and a brand new friend
[Outro]
C F
She’s a tug boat captain, tug boat captain
C F
The Brooklyn Bridge is a work of art
C F
And the East River collects its broken hearts
